Buy-side Perspectives Issue 17 | Page 43

As a follow up to the #buysidewomen campaign we launched at our 7 th Annual ATF Global Summit in February 2019, we continued with this initiative by holding our first webinar on 28 th November. The webinar was supported by MarketAxess and Trading Screen and championed by Anita Karppi, (BTC), Anju Sima (MarketAxess), Surika Vosloo (Trading Screen), Simon Steward (Capital Group), Kirstie MacGillivray (Kames Capital) and Lindsey Read (GSAM). The one hour session not only covered raising awareness of gender balance within trading but also touched on wider topics of diversity and inclusion including work life balance and mental health which are issues close to many people’s hearts. Campaign statistics: • 73% of our buy-side members backed the campaign • Our social media posts prompted +5300 views, 28 likes and 11 reshares • Plus we received an overwhelming amount of positive comments and support during 2019 thank you!
