Financial Day

Last Thursday the Financial Day, arranged by The Nordnet Trading Room, took place at JIBS. The day was filled with guest lectures and companies mingling with students in the lobby.
The day started with a lecture from Nordnet, covering the topic of alternative investments (raw materials, Forex, etc.). The new ways of earning return on savings were introduced to the young traders.
The second big event of the day was a lecture with “Aktiestinsenâ€, aka Lennart Israelsson. Aktiestinsen is a 94-year-old Swedish investor who is known for his smart investments and for making high returns on stocks. The students who attended the lecture got to hear about his experiences, life story and how he achieved everything that he has today.
Besides lectures, as mentioned above, we had companies mingling in the JIBS lobby: Unga aktiesparare, SIFE, Nordnet and Fraktjakt. The companies introduced their activities to the interested students. The Nordnet Trading Room was also represented, promoting membership among students. The main point of having the stands was to introduce the students to the companies that are their potential employers or service firms. The Trading Room was also planning to host a lecture with ICA Banken, but for personal reasons the lecture got cancelled last minute.
The aim of the day was to make students more interested and involved in the activities of the Nordnet Trading Room in particular and financial affairs in general. The day was informative for the students and we achieved our goal by making more people aware of what the Trading Room does and convincing them to join as members.
To sum up, the day was as busy and informative as we had expected. We are looking forward to other events now, so that we can keep up with our promise of involving JIBS students more in the Financial Affairs.
