Key themes driving private wealth allocations
Electrification. Sports investing. Artificial intelligence. Behavioral finance. Emotional intelligence. Private credit.
These weren’t just buzzwords — they were calls to action at Markets Group’s inaugural Women in Private Wealth Retreat in Nashville.
The one-day forum brought together leading allocators, CIOs, portfolio architects, and private wealth executives to define what’s next in capital markets — and what is driving those changes.
Reflections from organizers
“For once, I wasn’t the only woman in the room. There was an unspoken bond in the room. One built on mutual respect, shared challenges, and a commitment to elevating one another.” — Karishna Ramos, Director, Head of U.S. Private Wealth Program Management & Investor Relations at Markets Group.
“Over the course of the Women in Private Wealth Retreat, we heard powerful ideas, shared real challenges, and made meaningful connections. What made this retreat so special wasn’t just the content — it was the community we’re building together.” — Sovaida Noronha, Senior Program Manager & Investor Relations at Markets Group.
