Event Details
What if giving time, sponsorship, opportunity, and advocacy were recognised not as a trade-off, but as a strategic advantage in the asset management industry?
To mark International Women’s Day 2026, SFDA, in partnership with Sundaram Tagore Gallery is convening a panel of senior leaders from the asset management industry to discuss “Give to Gain”, how inclusive leadership, diversity-driven governance, and intentional investment in people create stronger organisations and better long-term outcomes on Thursday, 19 March at Sundaram Tagore Gallery. A Gallery Tour and Drinks will follow the panel discussion.
This conversation will challenge traditional assumptions, share real-world experiences, and highlight practical actions leaders can take to turn commitment into impact because when we give with purpose, everyone gains.
