This week the FFA’s Diversity in Fund Finance ("DFF") group participated in its annual event partnering with Baruch College’s Financial Leadership Program. For the last seven years, DFF has brought together a community of fund finance bankers and lawyers to present the ABC’s of Fund Finance, providing an introduction to the fund finance industry and various career paths.

The students are part of Baruch’s Financial Leadership Program, led by Marietta Bottero. This phenomenal program is dedicated to the professional development and advancement of high-potential juniors and sophomores interested in careers in finance. The program’s mission is to increase recruiting for Baruch’s diverse and talented students into top financial analyst programs across industries. The event was well received by both the professionals and students, providing a great opportunity for learning and networking. The students were particularly engaged and asked a lot of questions that showed their knowledge and preparation, both about the fund finance industry and about market events and banking and finance in general.

If your organization is interested in supporting this program or recruitment, or if you are interested in joining DFF please reach out to Natasha Puri.
