MILAN (ITALPRESS) – “The protection of citizens with respect to the issues of the economy, financial education and artificial intelligence,” to understand how innovation will affect “the everyday life of our of our country.” These are some of the topics at the center of the upcoming congress of Anasf, the National Association of Financial Advisors. President Luigi Conte spoke about it, interviewed by Claudio Brachino for the Italpress Economy television magazine.Anasf aims to work alongside citizens and businesses to determine financial choices. “We try to act as an intermediary between citizens, businesses and the world of politics,” Conte explained. “In our work, dialogue and confrontation are key elements to be able to illustrate opportunities in terms of making informed choices.” That is why “we are aware of the usefulness of digital, which allows us to free up time for relationship,” but to “ensure that certain choices are made in full awareness,” it is important “to determine the value of the time that allows us to know each other, understand each other and share.” Often the difficulty “is to choose among many possible futures: this stimulates us to keep the human relationship strong, because through emotion comes the value of trust. The choice cannot be a quantitative summary figure, it must necessarily be the result of an elaborate process” that “is sustained when there is real, concrete and intimate communication,” he stressed. “Italians ask us to plan the future together with them and to understand how to manage their assets, not only the current one, but also the one that will potentially come. Asset management then is not only related to money: for example, real estate is an opportunity, but also a great risk.” Not to mention that situations evolve over time. “Thirty years ago, there was no pension emergency, today a young person needs to plan properly for this aspect. Today’s complexity is difficult to codify, it is important to confront so that we can eventually find a path to be plotted and pursued,” with “constant monitoring, because the variables increase” and it is necessary “to propose lateral solutions that allow you to stay the course.” This is why financial education is important. “Since 2009 we have had a project dedicated to Italian high school students, with family and business finance at the center, trying to show young people alternative perspectives that can enable them to observe the world with a critical eye,” which will increase “in them the desire to learn and to be aware that tomorrow they will have to be the architects of their own future.”
