Markets feel especially confusing and unpredictable right now. Everywhere you look, there are headlines about AI concentration in the S&P 500, shifting political policies, and economic uncertainty. With the current landscape and global market swings, many people are wondering if they are overexposed, underinvested, or just overthinking their entire strategy.
This live expert session is a deep dive into portfolio construction exclusively for the Kiro Money community. The session is focused on building a strategy that works for you and your goals.
The session will be led by Mark Freudenthal, a Discretionary Portfolio Manager at Deutsche Bank with more than 25 years of experience across global and emerging markets.
