The Financial Crisis: A Decade Later

November 05, 2018 | Nat Kellogg, CFA, President

2018 Investment Symposium flash talk by Nat Kellogg, CFA

Ten years after the collapse of Lehman Brothers and the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression, we look back at the key factors that caused the crisis and reexamine the significant events of 2008. Now, a decade later, we will highlight the critical issues exposed by the crisis, including those that have been resolved and those that remain unaddressed and still pose risks for investors.

A summary of this flash talk can be downloaded here.
