SUMMARY:Financial Issues Forum: Mark J. Higgins on Investing in the Financial History of the United States
DESCRIPTION:Investors who neglect to study the past are forced to rely primarily on their life experiences to make decisions. This often causes them to overlook powerful\, cyclical forces that repeatedly reshape economies and markets. Investing in U.S. Financial History fills this void by recounting the full financial history of the United States. It begins with Alexander Hamilton’s brilliant financial programs in 1790 and ends with the Federal Reserve’s battle to contain inflation in 2023. Mark Higgins will discuss several of the most important lessons that help contextualize the challenges that the United States currently faces. \nAbout the Speaker\nMark Higgins is the author of Investing in U.S. Financial History and is a senior vice president within Index Fund Advisors (IFA) Institutional. His written works appear regularly in the Museum of American Finance’s Financial History magazine and the CFA Institute’s Enterprising Investor. Higgins also frequently speaks on U.S. financial history and institutional investment management. He joined IFA in August 2023 to expand the firm’s footprint in the institutional investment plan market. Prior to joining IFA Institutional\, Higgins served as an institutional investment consultant for more than 12 years. In this role\, he served such clients as endowments\, pension plans\, and foundations that had aggregate assets of more than $60 billion. \nAdvance registration is required. Registered guests will receive the link prior to the program.

SUMMARY:Financial Issues Forum: Daron Acemoglu on Power and Progress

SUMMARY:Financial Issues Forum: George Athanassakos on Value vs. Growth Investing and the Future of Stock Prices
DESCRIPTION:George Athanassakos\, Ph.D.\, founder and managing director of The Ben Graham Centre for Value Investing and the Ben Graham Chair in Value Investing at the Ivey Business School\, will argue that the hefty average nominal and real stock returns experienced over the last 30 years are not going to be repeated in the next 30 years. Profit margins will be eroded going forward. Inflation will also be higher than what prevailed in the past 30 years and so are nominal interest rates—due to both higher inflation and higher real interest rates. \nAdvance registration is required. Registered guests will receive the link prior to the program.

SUMMARY:Financial Issues Forum: Nobel Laureate Edmund Phelps on My Journeys in Economic Theory
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an in-person event with one of the most important economists of his generation. Edmund Phelps developed a new understanding of unemployment and inflation and went on to rethink the roots of innovation. His work represents a lifelong project to put “people as we know them” into economic theory. \nIn his latest book\, Phelps tells the story of his role in reshaping economic theory\, offering a powerful personal account of a creative and rewarding career. My Journeys in Economic Theory charts two major phases of Phelps’s work\, illuminating the breadth of his contributions to the field. First\, introducing the expectations of wage setters and cofounding the “equilibrium” rate of unemployment\, he built the microeconomic foundations for the employment theory pioneered by Keynes and Hicks. More recently\, he conceived a theory of “mass flourishing” superseding Schumpeter and Solow’s conception of the process of innovating—a theory in which individuals’ creativity and society’s dynamism fuel grassroots innovation and generate job satisfaction in the process. \nPhelps recounts his vivid experiences in the world of economics—fierce arguments\, competition and collaboration\, and the good fortune of time spent among some great figures—as well as his relationships with luminaries such as John Rawls\, Thomas Nagel\, Paul Samuelson\, and Paul Volcker. At its core\, this book shares the joy of intellectual achievement: the excitement of coming up with a new idea that radically departs from prevailing views and the satisfaction of exercising one’s own ingenuity instead of applying or developing others’ models. Telling the story of a life packed with intellectual adventure\, My Journeys in Economic Theory provides a profound vision of a dynamic\, modern economy that offers lives rich with creativity and meaning. \nAbout the Speaker\nEdmund Phelps\, the winner of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 2006\, is the founding director of the Center on Capitalism and Society and McVickar professor emeritus of Political Economy at Columbia University. \nAdvance registration is required\, and space is limited.

SUMMARY:Financial Issues Forum: Joseph Calandro Jr. on 'The Credit Cycle and Corporate Strategy: Challenges and Solutions'
DESCRIPTION:Joe Calandro will profile the United States credit cycle and the challenges it poses\, and he will share his perspective on where we seem to be in the cycle today. He will show the prior credit cycle wave of progressively lower inflation and interest rates began in 1982—following a historic inflationary trend—and ended in the year 2020. Calandro’s analysis suggests that the current (as of mid-2023) credit cycle of waves of progressively higher inflation and interest rates will present strategic risks and opportunities that will need to be addressed. To help facilitate this\, he will provide practical suggestions that can be addressed by executives\, investors\, and employees both today and in the years to come. \nAbout the Speaker\nJoseph Calandro Jr. is a managing director of a global consulting firm with more than 35 years of broad industry\, consulting\, teaching\, and research experience in the United States and internationally\, focusing on strategy/mergers and acquisitions\, business intelligence/analytics\, and performance/risk management. He is also a fellow of the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis at Fordham University\, a contributing editor of Strategy & Leadership\, and a member of the nonprofit Progress Through Business. \nAdvance registration is required. Registered guests will receive the link prior to the program.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Joseph Calandro on The Business of Personal Finance: How to Improve Financial Wellness
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lunchtime talk with author Joseph Calandro as he discusses his new book\, The Business of Personal Finance: How to Improve Financial Wellness. This book is no ordinary personal finance book. It presents\, in a highly accessible way\, how to effectively understand and manage personal finances\, avoid debt and build for the future\, and use straightforward tools and techniques developed in conjunction with business economics. \nFun to read\, the book leverages core corporate finance principles in a way that helps people become more financially literate in their personal lives. The premise of this book\, that personal and corporate finance can and should be learned together to improve financial wellness and know-how\, is considered a breakthrough. Using approaches that have been tried\, tested\, and proven to work with individuals and employees\, the authors apply common business activities like “due diligence\,” and tools\, such as “financial statement analysis\,” to personal finance. This connection has not been presented before\, either theoretically or practically. And yet it has the power to transform how individuals successfully manage their own finances and\, at the same time\, inform and educate them on the important aspects of the financial direction of the organizations in which they work. \nThis is a must-have book for those who are looking for a credible reference tool for how to manage their own finances effectively and for organizations seeking to assist their employees in sound financial management\, at every level\, both at work and at home. \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks and Speaker Introduction: James Kelly\, director\, Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis \n12:08: p.m.: Presentation: Joseph Calandro \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: James Kelly \nAbout the Speaker\nJoe Calandro is a managing director of a global consulting firm with more than 35 years of broad industry\, consulting\, teaching\, and research experience in the United States and internationally focusing on strategy/M&A\, business intelligence/analytics\, and performance/risk management. \nHe is also a fellow of the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis at Fordham University\, a contributing editor of Strategy & Leadership\, and a member of the nonprofit Progress Through Business. \nCalandro is the author of The Business of Personal Finance: How to Improve Financial Wellness (Routledge\, 2022)\, Creating Strategic Value (Columbia Business School Publishing\, 2020)\, and Applied Value Investing (McGraw-Hill\, 2009). He has also published widely on financial subjects in the Journal of Investing\, Journal of Private Equity\, Strategy & Leadership\, Journal of Alternative Investments\, etc. \nCopies of The Business of Personal Finance: How to Improve Financial Wellness will be raffled off to attendees. \nThis event is co-sponsored with the CFA Society New York\, the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis\, and the Museum of American Finance.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Terrence Keeley on Sustainable: Moving Beyond ESG to Impact Investing
DESCRIPTION:The global economy is at a crossroads. Can finance fix it? Proponents of environmental\, social\, and governance (ESG) investing say yes. They claim that new financial strategies that consider all stakeholders are essential tools for addressing runaway carbon emissions and stark income inequality\, among other ills. ESG-integrated investments already encompass more than $120 trillion in financial assets. Is this approach really leading to better social and environmental outcomes for all? If not\, how can it be improved? \nIn Sustainable\, a finance industry veteran offers an insider’s look at the promises\, prospects\, and limitations of ESG investing and provides comprehensive solutions that would promote more optimal outcomes. Terrence Keeley argues that both activist and C-suite advocates have been overly optimistic about what ESG can accomplish. Divestment threats are ineffective tools for altering corporate behavior\, and verifiably “good” companies do not systematically generate great returns. Most importantly\, business and finance cannot achieve inclusive\, sustainable growth on their own: Regulators\, public policies\, civil society\, and individuals must all play specific\, complementary roles to shape the future we need. \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks: James Kelly\, director\, Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis \n12:03 p.m.: Speaker Introduction: David Cowen\, president and CEO\, Museum of American Finance \n12:08: p.m.: Presentation: Terrence Keeley \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: David Cowen \nAbout the Author\nTerrence Keeley has been an adviser to the world’s largest sovereign wealth funds\, national pension plans\, endowments\, foundations\, and asset managers for more than three decades as a senior client officer at BlackRock and UBS Investment Bank. In 2021\, he was named a leading global “Knowledge Broker” by Chief Investment Officer. \nCopies of Sustainable: Moving Beyond ESG to Impact Investing will be raffled off to attendees. \nThis event is co-sponsored with the CFA Society New York\, the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis\, and the Museum of American Finance.

DESCRIPTION:Entrepreneurs are among the primary shapers of our culture\, yet their role in driving progress and influencing society has often been overlooked. As far back as we can trace human history\, there have been entrepreneurs. Almost five millennia ago\, copper tool manufacturers set up a factory in what today is southwest Spain\, profiting for hundreds of years from trade around the Mediterranean. Papyri document the diverse investments of an ancient Egyptian businessman\, from grain-yielding land to flax for linen cloth. What do these figures have in common with renowned modern entrepreneurs\, and how do their similarities help us achieve a deeper understanding of entrepreneurship\, as well as the potential for a healthier\, wealthier\, and more equitable and sustainable future? \nDerek Lidow delves into the deep history of innovation to deliver essential new insights into how entrepreneurs create value and bring about change. Telling the captivating stories of people from many different cultures over thousands of years\, he shows how entrepreneurs transform the world through relentless innovation. Lidow demonstrates that far from being heroic lone individuals\, they copy and then add to the inventions of others. The cumulative innovations of swarms of entrepreneurs expand the scale\, scope\, and range of products and services. Lidow emphasizes how entrepreneurship can harm society as well as benefit it\, and he underscores ways to mitigate its harmful side and harness its positive effects. By highlighting the fundamental qualities of innovation\, this book provides an indispensable new perspective on how it is shaping our present and future. \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks: James Kelly\, director\, Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis \n12:03 p.m.: Speaker Introduction: David Cowen\, president and CEO\, Museum of American Finance \n12:08: p.m.: Presentation: Derek Lidow \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: David Cowen \nAbout the Speaker\nDerek Lidow is professor of the practice at the Keller Center for Innovation in Engineering Education at Princeton University. He is the author of Startup Leadership: How Savvy Entrepreneurs Turn Their Ideas Into Successful Enterprises (2014) and Building on Bedrock: What Sam Walton\, Walt Disney\, and Other Great Self-Made Entrepreneurs Can Teach Us About Building Valuable Companies (2018)\, as well as more than 100 articles on innovation\, entrepreneurship\, and leadership. Lidow also has practical experience as the founder of a leading market-research firm and CEO of a global semiconductor company. \nCopies of The Entrepreneurs will be distributed to attendees. \nThis event is co-sponsored with the CFA Society New York\, the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis\, and the Museum of American Finance.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Bruce Usher on Investing in the Era of Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:A climate catastrophe can be avoided\, but only with rapid and sustained investment in companies and projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. To the surprise of many\, this has already begun. Investors are abandoning fossil-fuel companies and other polluting industries and financing businesses offering climate solutions. Rising risks\, evolving social norms\, government policies\, and technological innovation are all accelerating this movement of capital. \nBruce Usher offers an indispensable guide to the risks and opportunities for investors as the world faces climate change. He explores the role that investment plays in reducing emissions to net zero by 2050\, detailing how to finance the winners and avoid the losers in a transforming global economy. Usher argues that careful examination of climate solutions will offer investors a new and necessary lens on the future for their own financial benefit and for the greater good. Companies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions will create great wealth\, and\, more importantly\, they will provide a lifeline for humanity. \nGrounded in academic and industry research\, Usher’s insights bring clarity to a complex and controversial topic while illuminating the people behind the numbers. This book sets out a practical and actionable plan for investors to alter the course of climate change. \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks: James Kelly\, director\, Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis \n12:03 p.m.: Speaker Introduction: David Cowen\, president and CEO\, Museum of American Finance \n12:08: p.m.: Presentation: Bruce Usher \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: David Cowen \nAbout the Speaker\nBruce Usher is professor of professional practice and the Elizabeth B. Strickler ’86 and Mark T.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: James Park on The Valuation Treadmill: How Securities Fraud Threatens the Integrity of Public Companies
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lunchtime talk with UCLA Law professor James Park\, author of the forthcoming book The Valuation Treadmill: How Securities Fraud Threatens the Integrity of Public Companies\, who will discuss the history of securities fraud regulation from the 1960s until the present. \nPublic companies now face constant pressure to meet investor expectations. The typical public company must continually deliver strong short-term performance every quarter to maintain its stock price. This valuation treadmill creates incentives for corporations to deceive investors. Published 20 years after the passage of Sarbanes-Oxley\, which requires all public companies to invest in measures to ensure the accuracy of their disclosures\, The Valuation Treadmill shows how securities fraud became a major regulatory concern. Drawing on case studies of paradigmatic securities enforcement actions involving Xerox\, Penn Central\, Apple\, Enron\, Citigroup\, and General Electric\, the book argues that corporate securities fraud emerged as investors increasingly valued companies based on their future performance. Corporations now have an incentive to issue unrealistically optimistic disclosure to convince markets that their success will continue. Securities regulation must do more to protect the integrity of public companies from the pressure of the valuation treadmill. \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks: Sris Chatterjee\, chair\, Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis \n12:03 p.m.: Speaker Introduction: David Cowen\, president and CEO\, Museum of American Finance \n12:08: p.m.: Presentation: James Park \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: David Cowen \nAbout the Speaker\nJames Park is a professor of law at UCLA School of Law\, where he teaches securities regulation. Before becoming a law professor\, he worked as an assistant attorney general in the Investor Protection Bureau of the New York Attorney General’s Office. He is a graduate of Yale Law School and Miami University (Ohio). \nCopies of The Valuation Treadmill will be raffled off to attendees. \nThis event is co-sponsored with the CFA Society New York\, the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis\, and the Museum of American Finance.

SUMMARY:RESCHEDULED: Centennial Speaker Series: Mary Childs on The Bond King: How One Man Made a Market\, Built an Empire\, and Lost It All
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lunchtime talk with the host of NPR’s Planet Money as she uncovers the deeply investigated story of how one visionary\, dogged investor changed American finance forever. Before Bill Gross was known among investors as the Bond King\, he was a gambler. In 1966\, a fresh college grad\, he went to Las Vegas armed with his net worth ($200) and a knack for counting cards. Countless casino bans and $10\,000 later\, he was hooked: So he enrolled in business school. \nThe Bond King is the story of how that whiz kid made American finance his casino. Over the course of decades\, Gross turned the sleepy bond market into a destabilized game of high risk\, high reward; founded Pimco\, one of today’s most powerful\, secretive\, and cutthroat investment firms; helped to reshape our financial system in the aftermath of the Great Recession—to his own advantage; and gained legions of admirers and enemies along the way. Like every American antihero\, his ambition would also be his undoing. \nTo understand the winners and losers of today’s money game\, journalist Mary Childs argues\, is to understand the bond market—and to understand the bond market is to understand the Bond King. \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks: Sris Chatterjee\, chair\, Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis \n12:03 p.m.: Speaker Introductions: David Cowen\, president and CEO\, Museum of American Finance \n12:08: p.m.: Presentation: Mary Childs \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: David Cowen \nAbout the Speaker\nMary Childs is a co-host and correspondent for NPR’s Planet Money podcast. Previously\, she was a reporter at Barron’s magazine\, the Financial Times\, and Bloomberg News. She graduated from Washington & Lee University in Lexington\, Virginia\, with a degree in business journalism. \nCopies of The Bond King will be raffled off to attendees. \nThis event is co-sponsored with the CFA Society New York\, the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis\, and the Museum of American Finance.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Gillian Tett on Anthro-Vision: A New Way to See in Business and Life
DESCRIPTION:Amid severe digital disruption\, economic upheaval\, and political flux\, how can we make sense of the world? Leaders today typically look for answers in economic models\, big data\, or artificial intelligence platforms. Gillian Tett points to anthropology—the study of human culture. \nAnthropologists learn to get inside the minds of other people\, helping them not only understand other cultures but also appraise their own environment with a fresh perspective as an insider-outsider\, gaining lateral vision. Today\, anthropologists are more likely to study Amazon warehouses than remote Amazon tribes. They have done research into institutions and companies\, such as General Motors\, Nestlé\, Intel\, and more\, shedding light on such practical questions as how Internet users define themselves\, why corporate projects fail\, why bank traders miscalculate losses\, how companies sell certain products\, and why pandemic policies succeed (or not). Anthropology makes the familiar seem unfamiliar and vice versa\, giving a 3D perspective in a world where many executives are plagued by tunnel vision\, especially in fields like finance and technology. \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks: James Kelly\, director\, Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis \n12:03 p.m.: Speaker Introduction: David Cowen\, president and CEO\, Museum of American Finance \n12:08: p.m.: Presentation: Gillian Tett \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: David Cowen \nAbout the Speaker\nGillian Tett serves as the chair of the editorial board and U.S. editor at large of the Financial Times.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Roger Lowenstein on Ways and Means: Lincoln and His Cabinet and the Financing of the Civil War
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lunchtime talk with renowned journalist and master storyteller Roger Lowenstein\, as he discusses his revelatory financial investigation into how President Abraham Lincoln and his administration used the funding of the Civil War as the catalyst to centralize the government and accomplish the most far-reaching reform in the country’s history. \nLincoln inherited a country in crisis. Even before the Confederacy’s secession\, the U.S. Treasury had run out of money. The government had no authority to raise taxes\, no federal bank\, and no currency. But amid unprecedented troubles\, Lincoln saw an opportunity: the chance to legislate in the centralizing spirit of the “more perfect union” that had first drawn him to politics. With Lincoln at the helm\, the United States would now govern “for” its people: it would enact laws\, establish a currency\, raise armies\, underwrite transportation and higher education\, assist farmers\, and impose taxes. Lincoln believed this agenda would foster the economic opportunity he had always sought for upwardly striving Americans. \nSalmon Chase\, Lincoln’s vanquished rival and his new secretary of the Treasury\, waged war on the financial front\, levying taxes and marketing bonds while desperately battling to contain wartime inflation. And while the Union and rebel armies fought increasingly savage battles\, the Republican-led Congress enacted a blizzard of legislation that made the government\, for the first time\, a powerful presence in the lives of ordinary Americans. The impact was revolutionary. The activist 37th Congress legislated for homesteads and a transcontinental railroad and involved the federal government in education\, agriculture\, and eventually immigration policy. It established a progressive income tax and created the greenback—paper money. While the Union became self-sustaining\, the South plunged into financial free fall\, having failed to leverage its cotton wealth to finance the war. Founded in a crucible of anti-centralism\, the Confederacy was trapped in a static (and slave-based) agrarian economy without federal taxing power or other means of government financing\, save for its overworked printing presses. This led to an epic collapse. Though Confederate troops continued to hold their own\, the North’s financial advantage over the South\, where citizens increasingly went hungry\, proved decisive; the war was won as much (or more) in the respective treasuries as on the battlefields. \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks: Sris Chatterjee\, chair\, Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis \n12:03 p.m.: Speaker Introductions: David Cowen\, president and CEO\, Museum of American Finance \n12:08: p.m.: Presentation: Roger Lowenstein \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: David Cowen \nAbout the Speaker\nRoger Lowenstein reported for The Wall Street Journal for more than a decade. His work also has appeared in Bloomberg\, The New York Times\, Washington Post\, Fortune\, The Atlantic\, and the New York Review of Books. In addition to Ways and Means\, his books include the NYT bestsellers Buffett: The Making of an American Capitalist\, When Genius Failed: The Rise and Fall of Long-Term Capital Management\, and The End of Wall Street\, as well as the critically acclaimed Origins of the Crash: The Great Bubble and Its Undoing\, While America Aged\, and America’s Bank: The Epic Struggle to Create the Federal Reserve. \nCopies of Ways and Means will be raffled off to attendees. \nThis event is co-sponsored with the CFA Society New York\, the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis\, and the Museum of American Finance.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Daniel Peris on Why Modern Portfolio Theory Fails Investors
DESCRIPTION:We are in a time of enormous risk. Economic growth is anemic\, and political risk to the capital markets is on the rise. In the U.S.\, a generation of white-collar baby boomers is heading into retirement with insufficient assets in their 401(k) programs\, and industrial workers are stuck with materially underfunded pension plans. Against that backdrop\, the investing industry’s current set of practices and assumptions―modern portfolio theory (MPT)―is based on a half-century-old formula that is supposed to deliver the maximum amount of return for a given amount of risk. The trouble is that it doesn’t work very well. \nIn Getting Back to Business: Why Modern Portfolio Theory Fails Investors and How You Can Bring Common Sense to Your Portfolio\, dividend-investing guru Daniel Peris proposes a radical new approach―radical in that it does away with MPT in favor of a more intuitive\, common-sense approach practiced by business people in their own affairs every day: cash returns on cash investments. \nPeris will also discuss being a historian in a profession with a notably low historical sensibility. How did a historian of the early Soviet period end up as a portfolio manager with $25 billion under advisement\, a management team of 12\, and author of three books on dividend investing? \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks and Introductions: Sris Chatterjee\, professor and chair\, Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis; and James Kelly\, professor and director\, Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis \n12:05 p.m.: Presentation: Daniel Peris \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: James Kelly \nAbout the Speaker\nDaniel Peris\, Ph.D.\, is senior vice president and senior portfolio manager at Federated-Hermes Inc.\, in Pittsburgh\, where he oversees $25 billion in dividend-focused portfolios. He is the author of three books on capital markets. \nBefore transitioning into asset management\, Peris was a historian focused on modern Russian history. In that capacity\, Peris was a Fulbright-Hays scholar in the former Soviet Union from 1991 to 1992 and held a post-doctoral fellowship at the Hoover Institution of Stanford University in 1995. Follow him on Twitter at @historyinvestor\, and visit his website at strategicdividendinvestor.com. \nCopies of Getting Back to Business will be raffled off to attendees. \nThis event is co-sponsored with the CFA Society New York\, the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis\, and the Museum of American Finance.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Robin Wigglesworth on Trillions: How a Band of Wall Street Renegades Invented the Index Fund and Changed Finance Forever
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lunchtime program with Robin Wigglesworth\, the Financial Times‘ global finance correspondent and author of Trillions\, as he discusses the incredible true story of the iconoclastic geeks who defied conventional wisdom and endured Wall Street’s scorn to launch the index fund revolution\, democratizing investing and saving hundreds of billions of dollars in fees. \nFifty years ago\, the Manhattan Project of money management was quietly assembled in the financial industry’s backwaters\, unified by the heretical idea that even many of the world’s finest investors couldn’t beat the market in the long run. The motley crew of nerds—including Gene Fama\, Jack Bogle\, John McQuown\, and Nate Most—succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. Passive investing now accounts for more than $20 trillion\, equal to the entire gross domestic product of the U.S.\, and today is a force reshaping markets\, finance\, and even capitalism itself in myriad subtle but pivotal ways. \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks: Sris Chatterjee\, chair\, Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis \n12:03 p.m.: Speaker Introductions: David Cowen\, president and CEO\, Museum of American Finance \n12:08: p.m.: Presentation: Robin Wigglesworth \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: David Cowen \nAbout the Speaker\nRobin Wigglesworth is the FT’s global finance correspondent\, based in Oslo\, Norway. He focuses on the biggest forces reshaping the financial system\, with a particular focus on technological disruption and quantitative investing\, writing longer-form features\, analyses\, profiles\, and columns. He was previously the U.S. markets editor\, spearheading the outlet’s coverage of financial markets and asset management across the Americas\, deputy head of FastFT\, capital markets correspondent\, and Gulf correspondent. \nCopies of Trillions will be raffled off to attendees. \nThis event is co-sponsored with the CFA Society New York\, the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis\, and the Museum of American Finance.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Campbell R. Harvey on DeFi and the Future of Finance
DESCRIPTION:Govern­ments bailed out the very institutions that let the economy down\, spurring a serious rethink of our financial system. Does it make any sense that it takes two days to settle a stock transaction? Why do retailers\, operating on razor-thin margins\, have to pay 3% for every customer credit card swipe? Why does it take two days to transfer money from a bank account to a brokerage—or any other company? Why are savings rates minuscule or negative? Why is it so difficult for entrepreneurs to get financ­ing at traditional banks? \nIn DeFi and the Future of Finance\, Campbell R.
