Join Julia Strayer and Liz Maccarone for an in-person three-part series designed specifically for women, focused on securing your financial future and navigating your personal financial journey. This engaging discussion group offers a supportive space to learn, ask questions, and connect with other women.
Good investing is about balance, discipline, and clarity. In this session, we’ll break down what asset allocation really means and how to use it to reduce risk, grow your wealth, and avoid emotional decision-making. You’ll learn how to divide your assets with purpose, separate cash for short-term needs, and invest strategically for the long haul. We’ll cover dynamic vs. tactical allocation, how to dodge the trap of market timing, and why fear and greed often do more harm than good. Plus, we’ll explore techniques to help you keep more of what you earn. Whether you’re just getting started or refining your strategy, this session will help you invest with more confidence.
