Why are women such a minority in asset management? A lack of role models, long hours, and the perceived math gender gap all contribute. Join us for three virtual panels and peer discussions focusing on why the current disparity exists, why it's important to change the status quo, and steps we can take to increase opportunities for women in asset management. Speakers and panels are currently in formation - please stay tuned as we finalize our program.
