As part of the National Investor Awareness Project initiatives, the Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA) is holding an awareness-raising seminar titled “Stock Portfolio Construction and the  Difference between Investment and Speculation in Financial Markets" on Wednesday evening. The seminar—tailored for investors, brokers, and financial analysts at UAE-based brokerage firms—is organized in collaboration with the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX).

It will examine the most important investment- and speculation-related concepts and will discuss how to construct a stock portfolio that takes risk and return into consideration, as well as the possibility to extend such portfolio to include other assets, such as bonds and commodity derivatives.
