Financial Festival

The Ljubljana Stock Exchange organized a two-day Financial Festival on 24 and 25 October as part of Savings Month.
 
Both days were packed with educational content and interesting presentations by experienced experts from the financial industry. We introduced to participants the concept of debt securities and took them into the world of ETFs. We also explained the benefits of pension funds. As we want to offer as much information as possible, we touched on global markets, explained the advantages of equities over deposits, got to know who Modra is, and met Investor Maks. With a focus on innovation and technological advances, our issuers Petrol, NLB, Equinox, Sava Re, Krka, Triglav Group and Telekom Slovenije also presented themselves to the audience.
 
Our main purpose is to encourage the public to better understand and engage with the financial markets. By providing correct and quality information, we aim to eradicate the feeling of uncertainty that people often experience before entering the stock market or before they start investing. With the Financial Festival, we have created a platform where individuals can gain the valuable insights and knowledge, they need to successfully manage their finances and investments.
 
The event was extremely well received and attended, with more than 450 viewers in total watching it live on the Zoom platform. The event was broadcast live on STA, with over 7,800 video views recorded over the two days.
