Annual Investors’ Briefing: Learn About the Current Market
Each year, the Virginia United Methodist Foundation holds the Annual Investors’ Briefing (AIB) so our churches and clients can learn about current economic trends and the performance of our four investment funds from our partners at Merrill Lynch.
Join us for this special annual event, held virtually so you can join from anywhere! Learn more about market conditions and VAUMF fund performance from our expert partners at Merrill Lynch.
