Intentional Investment: Exploring Financial Education for Marginalized Groups with Bay Street Capital Holdings
On this week’s episode, we meet William Huston and Ekenna Anya-Gafu of Bay Street Capital Holdings, a minority-owned, independent investment advisory, wealth management, and financial planning firm that is also dedicated to increasing financial literacy for marginalized groups. As William explained, the institution space has many diverse managers - people of color and women - who outperform their peers; however, these managers often have no advisors or plan sponsors supporting them.
