As the Variant Perspectives conference reaches its conclusion, a word of thanks is in order for everyone who made it possible - from organizers, to speakers, to sponsors, to attendees. Our greatest resource in growing #AssetsUnderFemaleManagement comes from working together.
Our new Marketing Director, Lindsey Rubenstein, made a new friend at the Variant Perspectives: Women in Value Investing conference. Warren told her, “It doesn't matter if you’re from Nebraska or New York, so why should it matter whether you are male or female?” #BerkshireHathaway
@KimSharingValue, Laura Rittenhouse and Barbara Ann Bernard welcomed a special guest at their female-led conference. What a way to kick off the Berkshire Hathaway Shareholders Meeting weekend. @VariantPerspec1

As we enter the final countdown to the conference, let’s remind women - who control the majority of the wealth in this nation - that by fighting for more inclusion in the financial sector, they can reach even more incredible heights. #SizeMattersGrowAUFM
