Gilbert A. Garcia, co-founder, managing partner and CIO of the $20 billion fixed-income asset management firm Garcia Hamilton & Associates, L.P., is the guest speaker for the Charlton Center for Responsible Investing‘s Student Visit Day on Oct. 12. The event, which coincides with Hispanic Heritage Month, focuses on exposing area Latinx sophomore, junior and senior high school students and their parents to the investment arena and career opportunities in the $82 trillion asset management industry.
Garcia, a Texas native, is a first-generation Yale University graduate. He has a genuine passion for diversity and inclusion and will be sharing his success story and encouraging those attending the event to consider a career in the money management industry.
The mission of the Charlton Center for Responsible Investing is to recruit, educate and train students desiring a career as an investment professional. A special focus is an outreach to black, brown and female students to work to offset the severe underrepresentation of this demographic in the industry.
