We’re heading to Windsor! 👏🏼

Join CFA Society Detroit at Beach Grove Golf & Country Club Ltd. in Windsor, Canada, on Tuesday, October 6, for an insightful look at what history’s greatest investment manias can teach us about today’s markets.

Cole Smead, CFA, will explore major periods of market enthusiasm—from Railway and Bicycle Mania to the Internet bubble and today’s surge in AI infrastructure and hyper-scaling.

Drawing parallels across these investment cycles, Cole will examine returns, leverage, economic outcomes and what past booms—and their busts—can teach us about the opportunities and risks shaping today’s AI-driven market.

Stay after the presentation for cocktails, hors d’oeuvres and networking with investment professionals from both sides of the border.

Artificial intelligence is changing that.​

​As analytical capability scales and becomes embedded across markets, long-standing assumptions about diversification, skill, and accountability are coming under pressure.​

​In Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Finance: A Framework for Structural Change, CFA Institute Research and Policy Center introduces a new framework for understanding how Artificial Intelligence is reshaping capital markets, and the strategic questions it raises for the investment profession.​
