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.
Girls Who Invest
"A more equitable future has always
been a part of Girls Who Invest's vision for the future of
investment management and that's why we're so excited to be
partnering with MacroMinds for their 2024 Symposium. It's an honor
to come together and commit to expanding educational
opportunities for the next generation." - Katherine Jollon
Colsher, CEO at Girls Who Invest
San Miguel Academy
"San Miguel Academy is in
Newburgh, NY, just an hour and a
half from New York City, but
worlds away in so many ways. In 2023, Newburgh was once again
named the murder capital of New York
State. San Miguel Academy, including our middle school
and Graduate Success Program, serves students growing up amid
extreme violence and generational poverty. With the help of
MacroMinds and its commitment to education, we are able to further
our mission to break the cycle of poverty through education. We are
grateful and honored to have been a beneficiary of this year's 2024
MacroMinds Symposium." - Father Mark
Connell, Executive Director of The San Miguel Academy
Smart Kids with Learning Disabilities
"The one in five
students with learning and attention difficulties face obstacles
that greatly impact their ability to succeed in school, despite
their intelligence and strengths. We are extremely grateful to have
had the opportunity to partner with MacroMinds, to empower parents
with the information and support that will enable them to help
their children fulfill their potential, in school and in life." -
Jane Ross, Executive Director, Smart
Kids with Learning Disabilities
