The highly successful virtual Women in Finance series continues in 2021, allowing advisors from across Canada to learn from prominent women in the financial services industry. This year’s series will look at lessons from the dramatic events of 2020 and explore ways that investors and firms alike can ensure women are not left behind by the “she-cession.”
The pandemic brought with it a recession that has disproportionately affected women, particularly women of colour. This could be a business risk: extensive research also shows correlations between diversity within firms and improved financial performance of those firms.
How are the most innovative portfolio managers incorporating a diversity lens into their investment strategies? And how are financial services firms creating inclusive workspaces in an effort to retain top talent and create the conditions for outperformance?
Register now for this webinar to hear experts discuss these topics and share their best practices.
