“Navigating a Challenge – The Financial Market Landscape”
In the months since the surprise outcome of the UK referendum, financial markets have reacted with such intensity that asset values both sold off and recovered in a stunning manner as Brexit forces investors to consider the future picture of Europe and its place in the world.  Adding to investor angst are the upcoming US elections, Federal Reserve policy direction and a US stock market that many claim is substantially overvalued.  We are fortunate to have Jeremy Zirin, the Head of Investment Strategy for UBS here in the Americas, help us to divine the path forward over dinner.  Jeremy frequently appears on CNBC and Bloomberg Television and is often quoted in The Wall Street Journal, New York Times and many other financial publications.  We are certain that this will be a timely and entertaining discussion.

 Jeremy Zirin is the Head of Investment Strategy and Chief Equity Strategist for UBS Wealth Management Americas (WMA). He manages teams responsible for tactical asset allocation, thematic research, and US equity strategy. He is also a member of the WMA Asset Allocation Committee. His primary functional responsibilities include authoring investment strategy and equity strategy research reports, determining the firm’s US size, style and sector equity allocations and managing strategy-driven single-security stock lists.
 
Jeremy holds an M.B.A. in finance and statistics from New York University’s Stern School of Business, and a B.S. in  Accounting from the State University of New York at Albany.  He is a Chartered Financial Analyst® and a member of the CFA Institute and the New York Society of Security Analysts (NYSSA).
