About the Event

Join us on February 23rd 12:00 PM (EST) to listen to Paula Glick and Liz Simmie, the co-founders of Honeytree Investment Management, candidly speak about the serious issues that the investment industry faces in terms of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Honeytree Investment Management is a Toronto-based asset management firm that builds quantamental public market portfolios for institutional and select private investors looking for concentrated, high-conviction strategies with full ESG integration. They are proud to be one of the handful of female led responsible asset management firms globally leading the conversation. A wide range of topics will be covered such as how gender and diversity enabled their impressive returns, to how the investment industry has completely failed black, indigenous, and marginalized communities, and much more. These two brilliant women will offer critical insights on how to use ESG data to generate alpha, reasons for you to rethink your investment strategy, and culture changes needed to ensure a balanced pipeline of talent in the future. Dean Anne-Marie Croteau will give the opening remarks; she is the first woman to hold the position of Dean of the John Molson School of Business and has accomplished many achievements throughout her tenure. We hope that this event leaves you inspired and allows you to gain a new perspective.
