Kyle Al-Rawi represented Hedge at the NASDAQ Global Retail Executive Forum last month, where he had the opportunity to speak with William Capuzzi of Apex Fintech Solutions, Stephen Sikes of Public, and Don Montanaro of Firstrade Securities Inc. on product expansion. We’re grateful to have been represented alongside CEOs & top Execs from E*TRADE from Morgan Stanley, UBS, eToro, Webull Financial, and other industry titans at the incredible Nasdaq Exchange in Times Square, NYC. Hedge is a proud partner of Nasdaq, and is pioneering a new way to invest with family and friends, with the goal of empowering underserved communities to build wealth. Thank you so much to Nasdaq for having us!
I was thrilled to share the stage with William Capuzzi of Apex Fintech Solutions, Stephen Sikes of Public, and Don Montanaro of Firstrade Securities Inc. for a panel on product expansion at last month's inaugural Global Retail Executive Forum, hosted at the Nasdaq Exchange. It was an honor to represent Hedge and speak alongside CEOs & Execs from E*TRADE from Morgan Stanley, Webull Financial, eToro, UBS, Awaed, moomoo & other top financial institutions from around the globe! An exciting theme to emerge from the day's discussions was the growing prevalence of investors going to small group chats to discuss and make investment decisions with friends and family. Nasdaq also shared some fascinating observations from a recently published study about the effectiveness of active learning in close-knit peer groups, particularly for unbrokered populations (more on this to come). As many of you know, Hedge created the first frictionless way to invest in a group with family and friends, and aims to empower underserved communities to build wealth by investing together for the long-term. We are ecstatic to see others in the space recognizing the potential for groups, and look forward to ensuring that they are used to accomplish all the good they promise to do. I'd like to express my profound gratitude to Brandis DeSimone, Vince Grogan, Brandon Tepper, Oliver Albers, and the entire Nasdaq team for having me, and for hosting such a wonderful event!
