WealthManagement EDGE Podcast: Casting a Bold and Impactful Vision with Aisha Hunt

In this next episode of the WealthManagement EDGE Podcast, Nabia Jenkins-Johnston, senior conference producer at WealthManagement.com and Aisha Hunt, founder of law firm Kelley Hunt & Charles, talk about legal changes in the way we do business, gaining a perspective on diversity and inclusion, and emphasizing the need to create an inclusive, mutually beneficial financial landscape. 

Aisha brings over two decades of experience in her role as principal of KHC, a majority women- and minority-owned law firm that specializes in helping asset managers bring legal and business aspects together. Here, she discusses the firm’s involvement with the US Benchmark Series on the groundbreaking efforts to gain SEC exemptive relief, and why casting a bold innovative vision is the key to forward thinking. 

Specifically Nabia and Aisha cover:

• The SEC ruling on ETFs working in 401(k)s
• Shaping the future of the financial industry by pushing boundaries
• The concept of “growing the pie” and expanding the financial industry’s opportunities rather than competing for limited resources
• The importance of having an open source of sharing ideas and providing spaces for one another
