Personal Finance Club Organizes Guest Speaker on Capital Management

Personal Finance Club and the Importance of Capital Management
 
Janney Montgomery Scott’s Chief Investment Strategist Mark Luschini and Senior Vice President Steve Gansler recently visited Archmere to discuss various macroeconomic factors used by professionals to forecast market trends.  Such invaluable insights are sure to prove useful as the student body approaches both the career and financial decisions associated with college and adulthood. 
Two of my peers and I formed the Personal Finance Club this 2021-2022 school year with the similar purpose of introducing students to financial subjects.  Christopher Treston, Jessica Grier, and I share a passion for the economic framework that enables the production of goods and the organization of services utilized daily on a global basis.  Supported by Head of School Dr. Marinelli, we have been able to assemble a committed group of club members and explore topics ranging from practical money management to active investing, including an interactive real-time virtual stock exchange.  

Business-related vocations appeal to many of our members, but economic education is beneficial no matter your field of interest.  While investment advisors assist millions of Americans in managing their capital, financial literacy fosters the knowledge and skills necessary to assess optimal financial choices, preferably from a young age, and achieve an economically secure future.  Given the presentation of the expert guest speakers, to whom we are grateful for their time, we are optimistic about the future of the club as well as the students' futures.
