Investment Training Seminar @ UCD University Club, 17th May 2025

Cost: €399.00

Time: 8.30am – 4.30pm, 17th May 2025

Are you interested in starting a savings programme, have you a lump-sum to invest, would you like to learn about sound investing or are you working in the financial services industry and would like to improve your understanding of markets?

Then look no further. GillenMarkets has been running 1-day investment training seminars since 2005 and our next seminar is on Saturday, 17th May 2025 at UCD University Club, Belfield, Dublin 4.

Learning how to save and invest is not a luxury, it is a crucial part of your life, and you need to be informed. That we learn little about even the basics of saving and investing in school or university is part of the problem.

Returns from the stock markets will always be higher than bank deposit returns over the medium- to long-term. Once you understand why that is, your confidence will rise and that’s the key to adopting an easy-to-follow strategy that should see you capture the better returns on offer from the markets over time.

Did you know that a €500 monthly savings programme in the global stock markets from 2000 to 2024 inclusive grew in value to just over €500k compared to €175k from a similar savings programme in bank deposits?

Like driving a car, first you need to learn, then you need to follow the rules. Do that and you can enjoy the enormous benefits of driving while avoiding the major risks. It’s the same with investing.

On the day you will learn the ‘3 Steps to Investment Success’ as outlined in the book of the same title written by our founder, Rory Gillen.

The cost of the 1-day seminar is €399 – or €170 for repeat attendees – and includes copies of our series of investment booklets. There is also a discount for students. This seminar qualifies for 4 hours CPD from both the Institute of Bankers (IOB) and the Life Insurance Association (LIA).

About The Course

Saving and investing is not a luxury, it is a crucial part of your life, and if you want to achieve financial freedom, you need to be more informed.

GillenMarkets has been offering 1-day investment training courses since 2005 and they are delivered by the company’s founder, Rory Gillen.

The stock markets offer you the most flexible route to saving and investing, and the advantages are numerous:

  • You can start small, with as little as a couple of hundred euros a month.
  • You can diversify easily and at minimal cost.
  • You have instant access to your capital, at all times.
  • And you don’t need to borrow, which reduces the risks considerably compared to traditional property investing.

Forget about the chaotic scenes of stock market volatility that you see on traditional and social media. There are only three steps required for you to make a success out of saving and investing and to achieve financial freedom over your lifetime:

  • Harnessing the phenomenal power of compounding.
  • Adopting an easy-to-follow approach that takes the minimum of time annually.
  • Learning how to deal with the volatility that is part and parcel of stock market investing

You may have just started work and set up a pension, you may have sold a business or inherited some monies. Why not take the time to learn the basics of sound investing?

SOME TESTIMONIALS

“I had the privilege of attending two sessions by GillenMarkets recently. The one-hour evening session on ‘Timing the Markets’ was insightful, but the 1-Day Investment Training Seminar was, without a doubt, the best investment I’ve ever made in myself. While I did learn new concepts, the most valuable part was how it crystallised ideas I thought I understood but hadn’t fully internalised. If I could turn back time, I’d have taken this training 30 years ago. If you’re considering where to put your money, hold off on the S&P 500 Index for a moment and invest in this course instead. It offers something for every type of investor—whether you’re adventurous, conservative, just starting out, or preparing for retirement. Thank you, GillenMarkets, for sharing your wealth of knowledge and experience.”
