Technical Analysis for Wealth Managers

Technical Analysis for Wealth Managers is a practical and interactive two-day course designed for wealth managers, stockbrokers, portfolio managers, analysts, strategists and sales traders who want to improve their trading performance, develop their decision making skills, and learn how to integrate market timing with fundamental research.

Modern markets are unforgiving of poor timing and research now confirms the effectiveness of technical analysis and its contribution to added portfolio performance. This course focuses on using modern technical techniques to supplement (not replace) good fundamental research. Delegates will learn to answer the question 'when?' as well as 'what?' using live real life current examples and case studies.
