We’ve always enjoyed compiling our seasonal list of personal finance events, mainly because we know the value of in-person interactions for one’s learning and self-development.
But during this “Circuit Breaker” period and social distancing for the forseeable future, event organisers have moved their seminars online, allowing attendees to still gain much of the benefits of in-person events from the comfort of their own homes.
Here are our picks for upcoming free webinars that cover topics like CPF, investing, trading, insurance and personal finance. Be sure to save the dates!
