In the News While some hedge fund managers were in a frenzy to cover their short positions as GameStop soared 788.3% from a week before, other hedge funds generated alpha. Cue in Heard Capital which posted gains of 3.2% in its hedge fund and 4.5% in its long-only fund. Check out the article here.

Diversity Scorecard Last year, Chicago City Treasurer’s Office implemented a Chicago City Treasurer Broker Dealer Diversity Scorecard (Scorecard) that was designed to measure a firm’s leadership efforts in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) as well as Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) to assist in the Broker Dealer selection process. This year, the process is enhanced with Version 2.0 that will assess 30% of the selection based on the firm’s DE&I and CSR efforts. For more information, read the Press Release here. 🔁Craig Slack

The 14th Annual Emerging Manager & MWBE Conference is an opportunity for attendees to connect with New York State Common Retirement Fund investment staff and partners. In a new virtual environment, this year’s Conference will continue to offer investment managers the opportunity to gain a better understanding of the Fund's investment process and manager selection.

Small breakout sessions, while virtual, will allow our staff and partners to establish new relationships with highly qualified MWBEs in the investment arena, and continue to build a pipeline of investments and service providers that enable the Fund to reap the benefits of diversity for members, retirees and beneficiaries of the New York State & Local Retirement System.

At the conference, you’ll learn about:

The Fund’s selection and onboarding process of investment managers;
Current areas of the Fund’s investment focus; and
Common attributes of successfully on-boarded asset management operations.
