Dear Bergos Next community,
by the Next Team
Hey there Next Gen Community!
We’re excited to share that this September, it’s not just one person introducing our newsletter – it’s the entire Next Team 😊
With seven enthusiastic young Bergosians now leading the Next Initiative, we’re more energized than ever to bring our community together and strengthen our connections! And we have a lot of exciting stuff lined up for you, so make sure to stay tuned…
Before you jump into the newsletter, take a minute to meet the faces behind the team on our Meet the Team page. We can’t wait to keep our network growing and engage with everyone!
In this edition, you’ll get to read an intriguing article from our Chief Economist Dr. Jörn Quitzau about the Market Economy: ever heard of the land of milk and honey? Well, that’s not the one we live in… Plus, our Team Member Jami has written an insightful piece about how a small interest hike in Japan in August drove massive losses in certain carry-trade strategies. Not sure what a carry trade is? Dive in and find out!
We’ve also prepared a unique throwback to our 4th Next WE from June – one last taste of summer!
For those who prefer listening over reading, be sure to check out the latest edition of our Bergos podcasts, and finally, don’t forget to check out our tips for the exciting activities and must-see events happening now.
Cheers and enjoy the read!
Your Next Team
