Global Money Week is an international initiative held in many countries around the world to encourage open conversations about money, financial decision-making, and responsible financial management. This year’s global theme is “Talk About Money – Without Taboo,” inviting people to discuss finances openly, share experiences, and learn from real-life financial stories.
For several years now, VMU has been contributing to these initiatives through the efforts of Assoc. Prof. Dr. Asta Gaigalienė and Dr. Gintarė Leckė, who actively work in the field of financial literacy and involve the student community in educational activities. This year, the rapidly growing VMU Investment Club is also playing an important role in organizing the event, while its members continue to share their personal stories and experiences about money and investing on social media.
Conversations on Investing and Personal Finance
During the event “Smart Money Talks,” participants will hear from two finance professionals who will approach financial topics from different perspectives: investing and personal finance.
The first speaker, Lukas Jakubonis, is an investor, lecturer at the Vilnius University Business School, and former regulator and Chief Business Development Officer at the Bank of Lithuania. In his talk “Allergic to Crypto? Go Value Investing,” he will explore investment decisions through the lens of value investing and critically reflect on current investment trends.
The second presentation will be delivered by Simonas Radzevičius, founder of the VMU Investment Club and a personal finance consultant. In his talk “Personal Finance Failures,” he will share real-life stories about financial mistakes and discuss how learning from them can lead to better financial decisions.
