This seminar is designed for private investors who want to understand how to protect their savings during periods of financial instability while creating opportunities for capital growth.
Main Goal
The objective of the seminar is simple:
to help people protect their money and, where possible, grow their capital.
Markets change, crises occur, and inflation rises — yet many investors are not prepared for these transitions.
The seminar focuses on financial safety, long-term thinking, and more confident investment decisions.
Program
Modules 1–5 — Speaker: Stepan Demura
Hidden risks in the global financial system and how to build personal protection against financial stress
Market crashes and their cyclical nature
Inflation and its impact on savings
Cash — when it protects and when it loses value
U.S. Treasury securities (T-Bills) and TIPS — can they serve as protection today?
Bond ETFs — accessibility, potential risks, and whether they can be considered a “safe haven”
The practical investor question: what should you do during uncertainty?
Participants will learn why investors often turn to government bonds during unstable periods and how inflation-protected instruments may help preserve purchasing power.
Modules 6–7 — Speaker: Alexander Alexandrov
Options as a Tool for Portfolio Protection and Income Opportunities
Learn how options can function similarly to financial insurance and what opportunities may arise during periods of market stress.
Practical Training (Demo)
Participants will see how protective strategies are structured within the Interactive Brokers simulation environment.
Each participant receives a personal demo account that remains available after the training.
The training includes:
Working with options, stocks, and ETFs
Company analysis for option strategies
Principles for selecting option contracts
Building protective strategies
Buying and selling options
Buying and selling T-Bills and TIPS, including structured approaches to generating income
Trading options on U.S. Treasury futures (10Y and 30Y) and understanding opportunities during bond market declines
This is a fully realistic simulation of working with financial instruments using your personal demo account.
Is It Possible to Earn During a Crisis?
The seminar explains why volatility increases during turbulent periods, how option pricing changes, and what opportunities may arise even with relatively modest capital.
Special attention is given to risk management — a key element of sustainable investing.
Safe Havens — What Matters
Short-term government bonds
Inflation-protected instruments
Liquidity reserves
Diversification
There are no completely risk-free assets.
Risk can be managed — but never entirely eliminated.
