Democratising Finance Is Robinhood & Reddit the way to do it

Democratising Finance

The UTS Finance Department invites you to attend a free UTS Business School online event on Friday 12 March 2021 (12.15 - 1 pm plus audience Q&A):

“Democratising Finance: Is Robinhood and Reddit the way to do it?”

In January 2021, the increased volatility of so-called "meme stocks", including GameStop (GME), made headline news. The bigger picture pertaining to these events is what some finance experts describe as the "democratisation of markets." While stock exchanges aim to balance investor protection and access to markets, the meme stock events with their enormous amount of press coverage surprised many investors, researchers and the general public.

Meet four financial experts who will discuss the democratisation of finance:

1) Jeremy J. Heer, CFA, CAIA (Senior Portfolio Manager, University of Chicago Office of Investments, Chicago, USA)
2) Shana Orczyk Sissel, CAIA (CIO, Spotlight Asset Group, Chicago, USA)
3) Kerry Craig, CFA (Global Market Strategist, J.P. Morgan, Melbourne)
4) Talis Putnins (Professor of Finance, UTS Business School, Sydney)
