Rethinking Risk

As we close out 2023, we reflect on a year marked by volatility swings, rising interest rates and geopolitical tension that shaped the habits of retail investors. Exposed to Black Swan events, investors are faced with assessing their own risk tolerance – in both their everyday lives and personal finances. While industry leaders carry out a responsibility to increase access and participation in capital markets, it is crucial to ask the question, “how can we empower retail investors to become smart risk takers?” Moderated by eToro US CEO, Lule Demmissie, this panel will bring together thought leaders and financial experts to dissect the current narrative around risk, bolstered by eToro research, plus where it is headed in 2024. Lule Demmissie will be joined by Erin Lydon of Poker Power, an organization teaching women how to play poker and succeed in the game and in life, Jon Herrick of NYSE, Cleve Mesidor of Blockchain Foundation and Henry Schwartz of Cboe to discuss how to empower retail investors.
