Why should you attend the seminar?

Why should you attend Seminar 1?

• If you are new to unit trust investment, this seminar provides you with an introduction to unit trust.
• The presentation title has the point "Understanding Its Risks" in it. This is a plus point for me because most seminars do not like to speak about risk moreover to include this topic in the presentation title. For this seminar to cover this topic on risk goes to show that this is in fact an educational seminar.
• The speaker is a highly qualified individual specially engaged by FIMM.
• The seminar is FREE. What more can you ask?

Why should you attend Seminar 2?

• This is a specially organized to provide awareness for the Muslim community on the topic of syariah based investment.
• I believe the speaker will cover on the concept of unit trust investing and how it is compliant to the syariah laws.
• The speaker is a highly qualified individual specially engaged by FIMM.
• Once again this seminar is also FREE!

My personal take:

I laud FIMM's efforts in conducting free seminars to create awareness on unit trust investing among the public. This is somewhat similar with IME's goal to educate readers on how to invest and manage their own unit trust investments. 

Due to the similarity of our goal, I approached FIMM with the intention of helping them to promote their seminars for free. Fortunately after numerous email correspondence with them, FIMM gave Invest Made Easy blog the approval to help promote their seminars and events. 

I believe this is the first time FIMM is reaching out to the public via blog posting. Therefore in order to prove the effectiveness of promoting FIMM seminars via Invest Made Easy blog, I would like to seek your favor to mention "Invest Made Easy blog" when registering for the seminar. 

Last but not least, do share this post with your family and friends (especially those that seek knowledge on unit trust investing). As the sayings goes, sharing is caring!

Cheers and Happy Investing!
