George Town, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands (18 January 2022) – The CFA Society Cayman Islands and Cayman Enterprise City (CEC) have combined efforts to deliver a series of industry focused events designed for the Cayman Islands financial services sector. The programme of events will feature key industry trends and original market research, with subjects including traditional investments, virtual assets, commodities, derivatives, and related topics.
