In the first of its series of IWA Empowers Women, the Indian Women’s Association Kuwait (IWA) hosted an online seminar on 26 June. Streamed live on Facebook, the topic of the seminar ‘Financial Literacy and Legal Guidance’, seen as the need of the hour, was helmed by two speakers, Roopa Venkatkrishnan and Jasmin Kohina.
Roopa Venkatkrishnan, Director Sapient Wealth Advisors and Stock Brokers, a leading mutual fund distributor in Mumbai, is known for her simple but unique approach to relationship management and portfolio construct.
Roopa’s presentation on ‘Why do Women need Financial Planning?’ took audiences through the basics of financial planning, citing that although financial awareness was not seen as a woman’s forte, for centuries it was the women running homes, and budgeting for monthly expenses. She said that the time has come for women to elevate and educate themselves towards financial management.
Jasmin Kohina, a solicitor by profession is General Counsel at NBK Capital, the investment arm of the National Bank of Kuwait. Her talk on ‘Succession Planning and Inheritance’ underlined the importance of creating and executing a will, and keeping an updated checklist handy. Succession planning was also touched upon, and a wealth of information on basic legal guidance on the will.
The seminar was organized in collaboration with Gulf Bank and supported by the Landmark Group, and well received by the audience. You can catch it at @IWAKwt on Facebook
