New topics lined up for the BOV Investor Education Programme 2017

Bank of Valletta has launched its latest Investor Education Programme that will run between January and April 2017. Now in its 14th edition, this Programme consists of four separate courses targeted for the general public, with the aim of making participants more conversant with financial topics.

As the Investor Relations Officer John Paul Abela explained, this year’s programme features a fresh suite of topics. “Conscious of the dynamic manner in which the financial services world is evolving, Bank of Valletta feels that equipping the public with more knowledge on a variety of subjects is an integral part of the bank’s corporate responsibility. Thus, this year, we have revised the topics and we feel that the subjects being discussed are fresh and relevant to a broad cross section of the general public.”

The topics lined up for this year’s BOV Investor Education Programme include succession planning and powers of attorney, contracts and guarantees, as well as family law. Speakers will also discuss the Depositor Compensation Scheme and circumstances when cards are used fraudulently and chargebacks.

Every course will consist of six sessions running over three weeks. The first course starts on 10th January 2017 and will be held at The Victoria Hotel, Ġorġ Borg Olivier Street, Sliema. Participation is open to everyone who is interested in learning more about these subjects, and is free of charge. However in view of the fact that seating is limited to ensure maximum participation, booking is required. One can register by calling 2275 7570 or sending an email to iro@bov.com. Further details about the courses as well as details required to register are available on bov.com.
