Financial New Year's resolutions: Vienna Stock Exchange Academy boosts fitness for the stock market

(Vienna) The stock exchange year 2023 has begun. For all those who made the resolution to build and expand their stock exchange knowledge, the Vienna Stock Exchange Academy ("Wiener Börse Akademie") offers dates almost 100 opportunities to do so. Due to the high demand, the offer was further expanded to about 30 seminar topics. New seminar topics this year include "dividend strategies" or "US stocks"; long-term and diversified investing are considered the key to successful investing, especially in times of crisis. From 2 to 23 January 2023, the Vienna Stock Exchange Academy offers a 15% discount as a New Year's bonus.

"The beginning of the new year provides the ideal opportunity to review your financial goals and implement the resolutions made. Those who invest in stocks can participate in the long-term success of regions, countries and the global economy. We teach the necessary basic knowledge and enable everyone to take their finances into their own hands," says Erwin Hof, course director of the Vienna Stock Exchange Academy.
