About the session

Global inflation rates have been spiking with no end in sight. The Federal Reserve has also signalled its resolve in curbing higher prices through raising rates, and has done so aggressively in recent months. 

In these times of uncertainty, those seeking out passive income may be stuck on choosing their investing options. 

Join Endowus at this webinar to find out how you can generate passive income in a steady way through our product suite. 

We’ve also gathered seasoned fund experts from J.P. Morgan and Abrdn to discuss how the rising rate environment will impact your current and future investments. Learn more about:

• Why saving everything in cash is actually risky
• How the latest Fed rate hike will impact your investment plans
• The opportunities and risks of dividend equities in this environment
