Cadwalader was delighted to co-sponsor yesterday’s inaugural Women in Fund Finance golf outing at Dyker Beach Golf Course in Brooklyn, New York. The event was planned and orchestrated by Kristin Castellanos, head of fund finance at TriState Capital Bank, along with Mary Touchstone, partner and head of fund finance at Simpson Thacher, and was sponsored by TriState Capital, Assured Guaranty and Cadwalader. 

The event was open to golfers at all experience levels, even those who had never picked up clubs before. The event included an hour of golf instruction, lunch and nine holes of golf. Many of the attendees were beginners and enjoyed the chance to try their hand at golf in a fun, supportive and friendly environment. Kudos to our instructor and the experienced golfers in the group for helping and encouraging the newer golfers in their foursome. 

The event was a smashing success and was Women in Fund Finance at its finest. First, it gave an opportunity to women in fund finance to become acquainted with golf – something many women see as a business opportunity but may not be sure how to get involved. 

We all know that lots of business gets done on the golf course, and yesterday was no exception. Women (and men) in all areas of fund finance had a chance to connect and share this fun experience. Deals were discussed and connections were forged. It was a great day. Thanks to Kristin for organizing and to our cosponsors for supporting this fun and invaluable event.
