How and where to invest after the financial crisis?

On October 19, Nadia Nedelcheva – the Portfolio Manager of Karoll Capital gave lecture to the students at City University. Karoll is one of the leading non-banking institutions in Bulgaria that provides a wide range of financial and investment products to individual clients, corporate and institutional investors. The topic of the presentation was “How and where to invest after the financial crisis?”. According to Karoll, the Bulgarian Stock Exchange is a good investment option. After our stock market hit the very bottom on March 2009, it is expected an overall rise of the indexes on the Bulgarian Stock Exchange. Karoll claimed that an effective way to diversify your portfolio is to invest in foreign markets and Asia and Eastern Europe are with good potential. Investments in commodities are also sound alternative and Karoll’s experts bet on oil, sugar and gold. Another beneficial option is investment in companies that operate in the field of gold mining and processing, infrastructure and sustainable development.

Karoll also presented their new educational initiative. The company will launch a summer internship program, where 12 students will have the opportunity to learn real-life business practices and build a work experience. There will be job opportunities for those, who successfully finish the program.
