Money Matters: The Global Economy and Markets – Overview of the World in 2016

Every day, there are headlines about destabilizing phenomena such as ISIS, the Syrian refugee crisis, and brinksmanship between North and South Korea. In this session, we will look at both the overall state of the world’s economy and the implications of some current events for both investors and everyday citizens as they navigate an increasingly inter­connected global marketplace.

Presented by Chris Meeske.
