Sijoitus-Invest 2011 fair: objective presentations on investment 

At this free admission event, experts of the Financial Supervisory Authority (FIN-FSA) will provide unbiased information on issues relating to investment. The themes on the agenda include differences between investment funds, index-linked bonds and investment-linked insurance, the new Key Investor Information Document (KIID) regarding investment funds, market manipulation, as well as authorised and unauthorised financial services. 

Contrary to preliminary information, Harri Hirvi’s presentation ‘Authorised financial service or just a scam?’ will not be seen on Wednesday 16 November at 3.00 pm. This presentation can, however, be followed at several different times; for more information, please refer to the programme.

The lectures will be in Finnish.
