This discussion will focus on the basic things residents or new physicians need to do in order to begin investing <strong>for</strong> themselves and their practices, and how to select the right investment program. This year’s talk features special guests the Nexus Group of professional portfolio managers, who seek to achieve higher returns with significantly lower risk. Come ask your investment and market related questions and gain wisdom <strong>for</strong> the future.
