#ThrowbackThursday In the early 1930s, there was #ThrowbackThursday

In the early 1930s, there was a push to create a retirement system for California's state workers — which eventually came to pass, marking the beginning of CalPERS.

While we now cover far more than just state workers, the same vision is intact to this day.
Thank you to everyone who attended our Catalyst co Thank you to everyone who attended our Catalyst conference this week, and a special shout-out to all those who helped bring this event to life — especially our partners at @CalSTRS.

We heard from dozens of high-impact speakers over two days and multiple panels, as they touched on some of the investment industry's most pressing issues today.

Beyond the conversations themselves, we hope we provided a place for emerging and diverse managers to learn, network, and walk away with actionable insights on how to grow their businesses and break through barriers in this challenging space.

Catalyst is meant to connect and bring people together, and we're proud so many were able to do just that by participating in what turned out to be a transformative experience.

Hope you can join us next time!
