Rendezvous

25th July 2012 Today I attended Red Carpet event  invited by ING at Deccan Rendezvous, Pune. It was good informative seminar by ING presenter. It gives me opportunity to know the economic situation in India, and the developments in the world economy and its effects on India. It was good to know about impact of these situations on stock and mutual fund market.  Seminar was mostly focused on Life insurance for limited period. I was more interested in to know about ING since it is Nederland based 160 year old company. One of the guest raised doubt about trustworthiness and financial stability of ING. Then I start smiling since this conversation end with how Nederland is financially stable and strong country than other European countries. Good to know it is at least now linked to my work. So do Indian investor to invest in country look outside country for guaranty? Global Economy, huh?
