Wednesday, June 8: Hispanic Participating and Attitudes towards Investing

Forty-nine percent of Hispanics don’t currently own individual stocks, mutual funds, or other investment assets. That’s nearly twice the percentage of non-Hispanic whites who are not invested in any assets. While owning investment assets correlates with higher household income, cultural attitudes toward money management also affect whether disposable income is invested. In this session, Roy Eduardo Kokoyachuk, co-founder and principal of ThinkNow, will share the results or their recent Pulse, Cryptocurrency and Financial Services reports to paint a picture of the current state of and attitudes towards investing held by Hispanics to identify strategies best suited for increasing Hispanic investing and participation in the financial services sector.

Thursday, June 9: Lifestyle & Behaviors of Today’s Hispanic Consumer Segments

With more than 63 million Hispanics in the U.S, marketers must understand Latino consumer behaviors. Ron Cohen, VP of product strategy for Claritas, will share the latest insights across various industries, including technology, retail and financial services to help brands engage their customers, identify their best prospects, and deliver more engaging messages to optimize campaigns and increase ROI.
