ICYMI: Last month, Managing Director Steve Moseley represented Wafra at SALT iConnections NY, speaking on a panel about innovations in institutional investing.   "I'm excited about the opportunities that emerge inevitably from disruption. A chaotic market creates additional incentive for new firms to spinout from big firms…These big firms are factories for innovation. To the extent that there is innovation in private markets, and I think there can be a great deal, it's happening with new and emerging managers…[Innovation] has to happen at new firms pursuing new strategies."   You can watch Steve's panel in full here: https://lnkd.in/euymJhe5. 

Congratulations again Ronald Solenske, Elias Scheker Da Silva, and Stephanie Yang!
