IIA’s Brian Friedman (third from right) and Amy Kaufman (second from right) join American and Israeli business leaders at a March 2022 event in Boston.

If American investors are missing out on opportunities on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE), that could be because they aren’t well versed in the economic history of Israel that has made such opportunities possible. That was the contention of IIA President Brian Friedman during a recent event in Boston. In his talk, “A Guide for American Investors: The Israeli Economy and the TASE,” Brian walked an audience of American and Israeli business leaders through the last 40 years of Israel’s financial history in a little over 20 minutes. Presented under the auspices of IIA, The New England-Israel Business Council, the Consulate General of Israel to New England, and Shamaym; Brian’s address explained how Israel developed into an environment worthy of greater investor attention.
