Online Assembly: Active vs Passive - Investment styles under review
By Paraplanners' Assembly
What's it all about?
Active. Passive. Multi-Asset. Evidenced Based. Advisory. Discretionary. There's plenty of jargon there but what do they all mean? How do they work? Is it possible to work out which one is best?
We have three experts joining us with experience across the full range of investment styles to discuss, review and cogitate about all the options.
As always, you can send in questions during the event and we'll pitch them to our experts. This will be good if you want to cover some of the basics or go deep on a particular issue. Just pop it in the question section after you've registered, email us (we won't mention you by name) or ask on the day.

You bet your bottom dollar there are, and on lots of useful topics for paraplanners. Watch past and/or register for any upcoming events here.
There isn't an upcoming event listed, when will the next one be?
Sorry about that. We're just confirming the topics and putting together an A-Team panel for it. We do aim for every last Wednesday of the month, at lunchtime (1-2pm for most normal folk), so you can join in while eating your sandwich.
Sometimes we'll throw a curve ball and change the date. That's because we want to bring you AMAZING panel members, and they just can't make Wednesdays. It's as simple as that.
Actually, my question was on something else
Ooh, we like new questions. Just pop it in an email and send it on its merry way to here.
