What we learned
Throughout the many things we learned, one thread was consistent: his goal of showing the positive aspects and mindset of investments, rather than solely selling their product. More specifically, he emphasized his mentality of acting as an evangelist, rather than focusing on promoting the product. Interestingly, Kay also showed returns qualitatively rather than quantitatively, further supporting how the platform is used to change the mindset of investments and thus is better reflected through the experience, rather than through numbers. The talk ended with the effects of digital technology on investments, highlighting both the benefits of improved calculation and processing ability, as well as the dangers of the inherent increase in speed of the industry.
Overall, the TeamFirst members had an incredible time learning about investments from a different perspective - thanks to everyone for coming and a huge thanks to Kay Kato for his incredible insights!
