04/09 - Info on a potentially interesting event
I received and now I forward the following information on an event dedicated to the independent financial advice. "Fee-only summit" is a 2-day meeting (29th and 30th October), in Verona (Palazzo della Gran Guardia), from 9.30 to 18.30. Aims: get in touch with the fee-only financial advice profession, join conferences with major international asset managers, network with professionals, understand the CFP certification. The event is free of charge. More info: Info: www.feeonlysummit.com29/08 - Here are the results and the solutions for today's exam. Those eligible for the oral are summoned tomorrow, from 14.00, in my office (3rd floor).
01/07 - Due to a favourable change of plans, I managed to finish earlier. So, these are the results for the last exam for this session, including solutions as usual. The only eligible oral already took place, but if you want to see your test you can meet me in my office in two days at 14.00.
14/06 - Results, for the second summer exam, are available here, while solutions can be found here. The oral exam (or seeing your test) will happen on Monday, from 9, in my office, 3rd floor.
31/05 - Results, for the first summer exam, are available at this link. Solutions are instead available here. The oral exam (or seeing your test) will take place on Monday, from 9.00, in my office in the third floor.
22/5 - More self-assessment exercises. Banks and mutual funds here, Insurance and pensions and the securities' industry here, and finally derivatives here. Due to the limited size of the topic, there isn't something specific on other intermediaries.
8/5 - As announced, the seminar (in Italian) about the profession of insurance agent will be held on 23rd May, from 16.00, in the Conference hall (Sala conferenze, 1st floor) for those able to attend in person. Moreover, it will be possible to attend online by following this link on Teams. If you can, join us: you'll learn a number of valuable things.
24/04 - Two more tests (financial crises and central banks). We are not done with central banks yet, but if you read their chapters in our book you should be able to score well. Or you can wait. But keep up!
17/04 - Two more tests for your self assessment. One on stock and bonds, the other on mortgages and currencies.
15/03 - Another chance to self-assess your progress: at this link you can find a test on topics 3 and 4 (efficiency, money markets). Your are strongly suggested to use it.
11/03 - If you want to check your understanding of the first two chapters in our course (the financial system, interest rates), take this test. I plan to deliver more of these in the future, to give you the chance to keep up-to-date especially when we will have class breaks.
01/03 - I had to change a few things in the calendar. Due to some unavoidable things that I'll have to do during our class days, plus the amount of holidays that are falling in the Spring, it is quite challenging to complete our course. Therefore, I'll try to anticipate further potential issues by asking you to stay longer on Fridays in April. Since you don't have other classes, on the 5th, 12th and 19th April we will have 3 rather than 2 hours. I am sorry about this, but especially holidays fall always when we have classes... Hopefully this will be enough to avoid having extra days in May. Thank you for your understanding.
28/02 - Today we started, and decided to have classes from 9.15 instead of 9.00. I try being very respectful of the time of others, so I expect you to do the same. On Wednesdays we will also have a break after a while. This is the result, then: WED 9.15-10.45, 15 minutes break, and 11.00-11.50; FRI 9.15-10.45.
26/02 - Calendar updated and first half of teaching materials uploaded.
07/02 - Page created.
