The Rules Of Financial Planning Deconstructed | Learning IRL By ABGLP

If finance is your dream domain, and you see yourself as a future consultant, banker or investor, you need to first start small. You need to keep in mind world economy, politics, popular trade trends, et al. in order to successfully build a career in the world of finance. Take the Coronavirus for example. It has dealt a blow to international trade as well global companies operating out of China. International trends have a pesky way of affecting the smallest individual. Which means, in order to truly understand the concepts of finance, you need to know the basic tenets of personal finance and investments too. Which is why, in this month's version of Aliensplained, aliens Flub and Perp talk about an important concept that you must know during summer internship interviews (and life!), the concept of financial planning.

In March 2019, Diesel USA filed for bankruptcy, deciding to close doors to many of their North American outlets. For a brand that created trends in the early 2000s, this seems surreal. In today’s case study, let’s check out why this happened. Solve this case study, brought to you by InsideIIM in association with ABGLP and show off how well you know your finance curriculum!
