A CFALA Women's Group Sponsored Event

Recording (Members-Only)

Join us for a panel discussion hosted by CFA Society Los Angeles' Women’s Community of Interest on culture and diversity in today’s competitive investment management talent landscape. Our experienced panelists will share their perspective on attracting talent and the benefits of an inclusive culture and diverse team in the investment management industry. The panelist discussion will include a conversation around how diversity ties into putting investors first in the profession. There will also be time to network with the panelists and CFALA members and guests over cocktails and appetizers.

J.D. Bruce | My father was a hippie, so naturally I became a CPA. Being a hippie criminal defense attorney, my father fought ‘the man’ and defended the wrongly accused. He was a defender of the constitution and an enthusiastic revolutionary. He also didn’t like following rules, like the tax code.

When I was eighteen, studying theater at the local community college, my father had an unfortunate misunderstanding with the IRS. We ended up losing our 4,000 square foot house by the beach and moving to a much smaller home where privacy was hard to find and secrets were difficult to keep. That’s when I started to see through the cracks and learned about how your relationship to money can hurt you. (Read the rest of my story at www.abacuswealth.com/jdbruce).  Back To Top ^^
