Tour de Finance 2016 - Sarzana (La Spezia) and Milan



It is that time of year again when we start to crawl out of our winter holes, do some touring around Italy and start getting out and talking to people directly where they live.
However, for Spring 2016 I have chosen 2 new venues to take our Tour de Finance events:  

The first will be at the Santa Caterina Park Hotel in Sarzana (La Spezia) on 13 April 2016

The second at the Una Hotel Tocq in Milan (nr Stazione Garibaldi) Date to be confirmed

We have managed to get a line-up of top speakers who can answer the questions on everyone's lips, ranging from: 

WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO MY MONEY IF ITALIAN BANKS GO BUST?

WHAT WILL BE THE IMPACT ON MY MONEY, IF THERE IS A UK EXIT FROM?

SHOULD I CHANGE POUNDS STERLING INTO EUROS NOW OR WAIT UNTIL A UK REFERENDUM? 

IS IT POSSIBLE TO PAY LESS TAX IN ITALY?

DO I HAVE THE MOST TAX EFFICIENT FINANCIAL PRODUCTS AS A RESIDENT IN ITALY, EVEN IF I HAVE MONEY OVERSEAS?

CAN I REALLY PROTECT MYSELF FROM FURTHER FALLS IN THE FINANCIAL MARKETS, LIKE THOSE WE SAW EARLIER IN THE YEAR? 

To help answer these questions, in Sarzana, (La Spezia), I will be hosting a discussion with the help of:

CHRIS WANLESS
Associate Director at Rathbones Investment Management (UK):  He will be answering questions on world financial markets and the impact of the UK exit from the European Union. 

ANDREW LAWFORD
From SEB Life International.  He will be talking about limiting tax liabilties through the use of the Investment Bond in Italy and also about the risks posed by the Italian banking system. 

JUDITH RUDDOCK
Studio Del Gaizo Picchioni.  Judith will be taking questions on being 'in regola' in Italy. 

GARETH HORSFALL (MYSELF)
Manager of the Spectrum IFA Group in Italy.  I will be asking the questions and also discussing the benefits of correct financial planning for foreigners living in Italy. 

At the event in Sarzana, La Spezia, I will host a FORUM style discussion and openly invite you to ask your own questions as well.  

The event will open for coffee at 10:30am with the discussion starting at 11:00am. This will be followed by a FREE buffet lunch with wine and drinks and the opportunity to talk directly to the speakers on a one to one basis. The event will finish at approximately 13:00pm.

You may know that I have been hosting these events for some years now and during the years I have found the format I use to be more inclusive and delivered in a way as to be understandable and without excessive useless information. 

For this reason, I limit the speakers' use of powerpoint presentations.   I feel they act as a distraction from the main messages and can quickly become boring.

In addition, I have found that the group size is best when limited to 25 people.   

Therefore, if you wish to attend I would ask that you book early by contacting me on gareth.horsfall@spectrum-ifa.com or call me on +39 333 6492356 to book your place early.  

Places will be given on a first come first served basis. 

I hope to see you there!

Gareth
