On behalf of the Teacher Retirement System of Texas (TRS), the Standards Board for Alternative Investments (SBAI) and the Texas Alternative Investments Association (TAIA), please join us for the third annual Women in Finance Leadership Breakfast. We are delighted to have Dame Amelia Fawcett, Chairman of the SBAI, lead a discussion over breakfast on culture and diversity in asset management.

This breakfast is intended to bring together women, managers and investors to discuss culture in the asset management industry and share best practices on the following:

Why do we care about culture?

Do “purpose” and “values” come before culture?

How do firms instill good culture (what works, what doesn’t and why)?

How does the size, ownership structure and ambition of the firm influence culture?

Driving better culture…does the world believe us?

What role does diversity (in its broadest sense) play? What are the key challenges? What active steps can firms take?

What is the institutional investor perspective on culture and diversity? Do they care?

What do regulators say?

Venue: Four Seasons Austin, 98 San Jacinto Boulevard, Austin, Texas 78701
