McCain Speaker: Harsh Jain, Russell Investments
Harsh Jain is coming to UNB for the next McCain Speaker Series talk, and he has a story worth hearing. Harsh is a research analyst on the equities team at Russell Investments and a visiting Executive in Residence at UNB's Centre for Financial Studies. He'll look back on how overseeing UNB's Student Investment Fund helped launch his career, and what it was like to return to India and build a career with some of the leading global firms in the industry.
He'll also talk about what his work looks like today, including a behind-the-scenes look at how institutional investors choose fund managers. It's a rare chance to hear how those decisions get made from someone who does it for a living.
