Digital Private Wealth and Investment Management Firm, Zedcrest Investment Managers ("Zimvest"), will hold its maiden thought-leadership series named "Zimvest Economy Conversations" on Saturday, June 20, 2020.

Zimvest, the newly launched Investment Management subsidiary of Zedcrest, plans to be at the nexus of a continuing conversation series around Investment management and economic policy landscapes.
