For many, investing is a daunting task filled with uncertainty and countless choices that can feel overwhelming. It’s not uncommon to feel lost and unsure of where to start. The challenge may feel even more intense when navigating the investment landscape in a country that isn’t your native home, in a language that isn’t your mother tongue. The good news is, it doesn’t have to be this way.
Join us for a session with Harris Mathura, a Chartered Financial Analyst with extensive experience assisting clients in Japan. Harris will provide a brief introduction to the fundamentals of investing, with a focus on the unique aspects of investing as a foreigner in Japan. Harris will cover essential topics such as why to invest, types of investments and the importance of diversification, risks associated with investing, investment strategies, and tax management. Recognizing that everyone has unique investment needs, there will also be an opportunity for questions. (Please note that due to time constraints, it may not be possible to address all questions.) This engaging session aims to empower you to approach investing with greater confidence and clarity.
