I had a great time at CFA Society Toronto ’s 68th Annual Dinner last night. Events like this are special because you hear leaders’ perspectives first-hand last year it was Hank Paulson; this year a fireside chat with the Rt. Hon. Stephen Harper. I even had a chance to exchange a few words with him about the Colombia🇨🇴Canada🇨🇦 Free Trade Agreement, which was signed during his tenure!!!!

Always a highlight on the calendar, the event brought together an incredible group of professionals to share perspectives on how our industry is navigating a world of change.

It was a great opportunity to connect with peers, clients and colleagues, and to hear fresh insights on the opportunities and challenges shaping our markets. Events like these reaffirm how strong and engaged our community is, and how much we can learn from one another.

Incredible event. Hank Paulson met and exceeded my (high) expectations for insight and candour, and ended on a note of profound wisdom.

Well done to CFA Society Toronto, and thanks to the many sponsors, most of all TPG and Ares Management Corporation for making the event possible.
