The Department of Finance, Law, and Taxation at NYU SPS hosted a Faculty Webinar Series event on Wednesday, March 17th with Adjunct Assistant Professor, Leonard Comberiate and Negar Farakish, EdD, assistant dean of the Division of Programs in Business (DPB). This was a second session in the series that was launched in Summer 2020.
During the interview, Professor Comberiate provided an overview of the core financial planning elements and offered a variety of resources for building sound financial plans. He also shared multiple strategies for managing and minimizing financial risks. Over 80 participants including alumni, current students, faculty members, and NYU employees attended the session and posed a range of questions on how to devise personal financial plans during the pandemic. Addressing participants’ questions, Professor Comberiate shared additional insights on how to create financial portfolios that can remain sustainable during turbulent times.
