The inaugural seminar, called “The Myron Scholes Experience,”
kicked off this month in Chicago, featuring presentations from
Scholes, as well as Head of Global Asset Allocation Ashwin Alankar,
Ph.D., and Director of Asset Allocation Strategies Philip Maymin,
Ph.D.
The topics covered included decarbonization, innovation,
compound returns, risk management, asset and option valuation,
behavioral finance, and more. Scholes also talked about his
background in economics and the significant contributions he’s made
to the field.
The goal was to give students access to a storied academic in
the field of economics, and experienced leaders from the asset
management industry. Approximately 70 Greenwood Project scholars
participated.
Myron Scholes, Ph.D., Chief Investment Strategist for Janus
Henderson Investors and Nobel Laureate, said: “It was such a
pleasure to spend time with aspiring financial professionals and
academics. The enthusiasm of the Greenwood Project scholars was
apparent, and their engagement revealed a hunger to learn. We
appreciate partnering with an organization that is doing so much to
transform the lives of Black and Latinx students while
strengthening the future of the financial services industry.”
Eugene Flood, Jr., Ph.D., Independent Non-Executive Director
on Janus Henderson’s Board, said: “Our Board is encouraged by
the creative ways in which Janus Henderson and the Foundation
continue to build the relationship with the Greenwood Project. We
know how important financial literacy is and that careers in
financial services can change individuals’ lives and their
communities for the better. Access to accomplished professionals
and academics like Myron and his team gives students the chance to
see what’s possible in the world of finance and develop a vision
for achieving their goals.”
Kwesi Smith, Greenwood Project Executive Director, said:
“The remarkable impact of Myron Scholes and his esteemed team on
our Greenwood Project scholars cannot be overstated. Their
mentorship and guidance created a transformative educational
journey for our aspiring financial professionals. We are deeply
grateful for this partnership, which not only empowers our Black
and Latinx scholars but also strengthens the future of the
financial services industry.”
The Greenwood Project exposes high-achieving Black and Latinx
students to career opportunities in the financial industry through
paid internships, educational field trips, a FinTech coding
bootcamp, and a summer Financial Institute that provides simulated
training for the financial services and technology industries. All
training programs enable students to earn income while learning,
further increasing their chances of succeeding.
