Times Sessions
8:00 a.m. – 9:00 a.m. PT Registration and breakfast
9:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. PT Session 1 | How markets affect you: BlackRock’s 2020 Q1 outlook
Join us for a conversation with Mark Peterson, BlackRock’s Director of Investment Strategy and Education, as he discusses today's markets. He will cover where the markets have been and where BlackRock sees them going, how to help navigate them, and the way forward in 2020.
10:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. PT Session 2 | Diversifying your portfolio with ETFs
You want to build diversification into your portfolio, but how do you choose an ETF? With thousands of choices available to investors, searching for, finding, and picking ETFs can feel daunting. Professionals from iShares and Fidelity come together to provide a useful framework for evaluating ETFs and indexes, walk through Fidelity tools that can help, and give simple ETF ideas to help you get started. Learn how to build quality diversification into your portfolio with ETFs.
11:00 a.m. – Noon PT Session 3 | Putting your cash to work
The purchasing power of your cash stash can diminish as inflation eats away at it over time. Short-duration bond ETFs can potentially add more income while helping you step out of cash and meet short- or long-term investment goals. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach. For many, it helps to think of cash in layers, and segment it based on how soon you will need to use it. Learn how to develop a cash segmentation strategy and the tools iShares ETFs offer to invest cash and help balance duration and risk to help make your cash work harder for you.
