Keeping Things Elegantly Simple: Mary Ellen Stanek Addresses Baird Advisors Institutional Investors Conference

For the 17th straight year, Baird Advisors hosted its annual Institutional Investors Conference in Kohler, Wisconsin. Attendees listened to Manpower Chairman CEO Jonas Prising discuss global employment trends and former Ford and Boeing CEO Alan Mulally address innovation and management topics. Baird Advisors Managing Director and Chief Investment Officer Mary Ellen Stanek provided Baird’s annual investment outlook.

Said Stanek, “We try to keep it elegantly simple. We aren’t economists, we are practitioners. We sort through the work of a variety of economists and strategists, look for the missing pieces in the puzzle, and find the opportunity.”
