Bank of Valletta p l c : New topics lined up for the BOV Investor Education Programme 2017

Bank of Valletta has just launched its latest Investor Education Programme that will run between January and April 2017. Now running into its 14edition, this Programme consists of four separate courses targeted for the general public, with the aim of making participants more conversant with financial topics.

As the Investor Relations Officer, Mr John Paul Abela explained, this year's programme boasts a fresh suite of topics. 'Conscious of the dynamic manner in which the financial services world is evolving, Bank of Valletta feels that equipping the public with more knowledge on a variety of subjects is an integral part of the Bank's corporate responsibility. Thus, this year, we have revised the topics and we feel that the subjects being discussed are fresh and relevant to a broad cross section of the general public.'

The topics lined up for this year's BOV Investor Education Programme include succession planning and powers of attorney, contracts and guarantees, as well as family law. Speakers will also be discussing the Depositor Compensation Scheme and circumstances when cards are used fraudulently and chargebacks.

Every course will consist of six sessions running over three weeks. The first course starting on the 10January 2017 will be held at The Victoria Hotel, Triq Ġorġ Borg Olivier in Sliema. Participation is open to everyone who is interested to learn more about these subjects, and is free of charge.
