📅 We look forward to today's insightful virtual event featuring widely respected financial historian and author of Investing in U.S. Financial History - Understanding the Past to Forecast the Future, Mark Higgins, CFA, CFP®and SVP of Index Fund Advisors. 🎙 Moderated by CFE member Kerry Jordan, CFA, this program will delve into the extraordinary life of Henrietta (Hetty) Green (1834-1916). Hetty was among the most successful investors in U.S. financial history, yet few people know her name. She navigated the volatile markets and fickle monetary currents of the Gilded Age, profiting during the peaks and troughs while most of her male contemporaries amassed and subsequently lost their fortunes. Some called her the wealthiest woman in America; others deemed her the Witch of Wall Street.
