WEBINAR
Gaze into the Wall Street/Washington Crystal Ball

Sponsored by Ernst & Young LLP
Wall Street faced rising social forces in 2020, in addition to sudden monetary and fiscal policy changes aimed to stimulate the pandemic economy. Financial services institutions encountered investor, employee and societal concerns about wealth inequality and racial injustice, as well as the consequences of business shutdowns.

Market participants are now preparing to navigate a new business environment that addresses these social concerns. Many observers anticipate a shift to creating longer-term value for stakeholders, including customers, suppliers, employees and communities, beyond creating shareholder value.

As financial institutions await the administration's plans for regulatory, economic, and tax policy, consider what lies ahead and the possible impacts to financial markets. Review how industry participants will address these changes and how such changes may meld with their broader, value-based strategies.

Please email your questions to ncalif@100women.org by Monday, January 11, 2021, or you may submit them during the webinar.

Produced by the 100WF Northern California Committee.
