Teleconference on financial strategies

From online stock trades to global cash flows, the way people manage money today is changing fast. How do you build and protect assets now? Do last year’s strategies still make sense today?

On Friday, Oct. 22, the UW Benefits Office will host “Financial Strategies for a New Century: Tips from America’s Experts,” a free, live national teleconference sponsored by TIAA-CREF and aimed at helping you better understand the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. Topics will include inflation and deflation, electronic trading, asset allocation, the Y2K impact and active vs. index funds.

The teleconference will give you the chance to learn from some of America’s most noted investment experts: Martin Leibowitz, TIAA-CREF’s vice chairman and chief investment officer; William F. Sharpe, 1990 Nobel Laureate in economics, Stanford University; Teresa Tritch, senior editor, Money magazine; and Chris Farrel, co-host and economics editor, NPR’s “Sound Money.” NBC correspondent, Cassandra Clayton will moderate.

You can participate in the program from 10 to 11:30 a.m. Friday, Oct. 22, from three locations: 167 UW Bothell; HUB auditorium, UW Seattle; and 107 BHS, UW Tacoma.
