We would like to express our gratitude to the Baratta Center for Global Business - Georgetown McDonough for including us in their recent CEO Signature Series event: Cross Border Investing - A Focus on Technology. In addition to the insightful presentations, GIF members had a unique pre-event opportunity to participate in a private coffee chat with Philippe Laffont, CIO of Coatue Management, and Joe Baratta, Global Head of Private Equity at Blackstone. This engaging discussion provided invaluable career advice and insights, setting the stage for the broader event which explored emerging trends in global technology investing, the impact of geopolitics, and the role of CFIUS. We also extend our thanks to everyone who made this experience possible, as well as to all of our members who contributed to the event.

Last Friday, members of the Georgetown University Graduate Investment Fund (GIF) had the opportunity to connect with BlackRock's DC office. At the event, members gained valuable insights into the asset management industry through a focused panel discussion regarding BlackRock's value creation strategies, current industry trends, and the nuances of public and private market investing. This visit provided our members with a comprehensive understanding of the evolving financial landscape and equipped them with valuable knowledge for their careers. Thank you to everyone at BlackRock and at GIF who assisted in making this event a success.
