Mark J. Higgins, CFA, CFP® Instructor Financial History Practice Section

Welcome to the Financial History Practice Section!

History reveals that almost all financial events are merely repetitions of prior events, many of which are long forgotten. Limiting your knowledge of financial events to those that occurred in your own lifetime impairs your ability to achieve your investment goals and those of your clients.

To ensure practitioners are always learning about historical events that foreshadow the future, A4A’s Financial History Practice Section (FHPS) provides continual updates on historical events that explain what is happening presently.  This knowledge is invaluable for investment advisors, analysts, consultants, tax and financial planners, and individuals with a passion for investing.
