FREEAbout the Speaker
Staden Financial Management believes in giving financial investment advice the right way. With that said, a workshop on transparent fees, exceptional investment performance, and unbiased advice, honestly seemed rather dull, so instead, this event is about financial advice given the wrong way.4 attendees
