Another great opportunity for me to explore with the specialists in Social Impact Investments with the Social Investment Academy and their seminar Changing the Course of History
This whole area of investment is rapidly moving to mainstream and this is another step in the process that enables long-term experienced advisers like me to keep up and ahead.
This gathering of the profession’s innovators at the the Social Investment Academy, the leading forum for financial planners incorporating social impact investment advice into their financial planning process.
We focus on Social Investment Tax Relief (SITR) with our best line up to date.
The line up…
