Paris, 12 Juin 2012, Mutuelle Saint Christophe

La finance sort meurtrie de la crise financière actuelle avec une cote de confiance en berne. De leur côté, les associations et fondations n’ont jamais eu autant besoin de ressources pour financer leurs missions dans la crise profonde que nous traversons. La finance altruiste ou de partage apparaît comme une des solutions.

Axylia Conseil a mené la première étude européenne sur toutes les solutions financières de partage : livrets, cartes bancaires, fonds communs de placement, contrats d’assurance. Tout au long de la journée seront présentées les conclusions exclusives sur plus de 400 produits identifiés dont 80% hors de France. Les produits financiers sélectionnés affichent entre 10% et 30% de croissance annuelle.

Les Ateliers sont une opportunité unique pour imaginer les prochaines solutions gagnantes et aider à développer sa collecte. Pour la sixième édition, venez écouter en intervention individuelle et en table ronde les financiers et associations européennes les plus emblématiques de cette finance altruiste en croissance.
