Namibia Asset Management has launched a free-of-charge financial reference guide to the Namibian public in Windhoek on Thursday 3 April 2008. The "Investing in the Future" booklet is a easy to understand tool that explains how economics and the flow of money works, and more importantly, what savings options are available out there and how to choose between the various types of investments available.
The aim of the guide is not only to help Namibians with a genuine interest in getting their financial affairs in order by investing a portion of income generated, plan and implement investment strategies, but also as a reference tool that will unselfishly be shared with other members of the family unit, young and old.
"When NAM decided to present a road show around the country to help Namibians gain knowledge to encourage them to plan their personal and business finances better, we never anticipated the tremendous response. Impressively, in 2007 more that 400 Namibians from all walks of life attended NAM’S Investing in the Future presentation at 19 locations around the country.
Following the success of the Investing in the Future road show and as a result of the numerous calls that we continue to receive for further information, NAM decided to convert the presentation into a booklet. This booklet is the result." said Ben Bertolini, CEO.
He thanked the local consultancy firm, SMEs Compete, for supporting NAM in its quest to educate Namibians on ‘money matters’ and thereby help them to gain financial independence. Not only did SMEs Compete conceptualise and help us undertake the road show but they also assisted with the design of this publication.
"NAM takes its corporate social responsibility seriously and we assure you that the firm will continue running similar programmes of an educational nature over the coming years.", said Mr Bertolini.
