RYE, N.Y., June 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — MacroMinds, a foundation launched to support student education, announced that its 2024 investment symposium has raised $300,000. The event drew 48 sponsors and had 225 attendees. The net proceeds support three beneficiaries, Girls Who Invest, the San Miguel Academy and Smart Kids with Learning Disabilities. “Our theme for the event was ‘The Convexity of Collaboration‘”, said Dean Curnutt, the Founder of the MacroMinds Foundation. “The idea is that, working together, our industry can accomplish a great deal, contributing, building relationships and learning from each other in the process. This event illustrates how much is possible when we collaborate.”
In attendance at the Times Center in New York City for the 2024 symposium was a senior and highly engaged audience of decision-makers in financial markets with expertise across the asset classes. The panel discussions explored the search for diversification, the future path of both inflation and monetary policy and opportunities in the universe of structured products. Alternative intelligence and geopolitical risk were also in focus. In all, 10 distinguished speakers shared their insights, with conversations hosted by 8 expert moderators.
The MacroMinds initiative has now raised $1.7 million on behalf of 12 organizations focused on expanding educational opportunities. “We are grateful to the more than 60 organizations that have played a role in supporting our beneficiaries over our four events. Investing in the education of students is a critical undertaking we can all be a part of,” said Dean Curnutt.
