This week, we speak with Kathy Fisher, head of wealth and investment strategies at Alliance Bernstein, which manages $554 billion dollars. She has overseen research on investment planning and wealth transfer issues facing high-net-worth families as well as endowments and foundations at AB since 2013 (she joined the firm in 2001). Previously, she spent 15 years at JPMorgan.
She leads the team responsible for developing and communicating asset allocation advice and investment strategies for high-net-worth clients.
Fisher explains how the pay differential for women in finance has improved radically over the past decade; at her firm, the pay gap no longer exists.
Her favorite books are referenced here; our conversation transcript is available here.
