Apple is allocating a portion of cash to women-owned investment adviser Seelaus Asset Management, which will use fees from the investment to support a new one-year rotational job program for women.
Seelaus Asset Management, a women-owned business enterprise, announced the launch of a new one-year rotational job program designed to give young women access to opportunities to enter and learn about the asset management business. Analysts will work closely with various departments to learn about portfolio management, operations, research, trade execution, compliance, marketing, finance and business development.
Seelaus is launching the program with support from Apple, and will also be managing a portfolio for the company. The portfolio will be managed by the existing Seelaus Asset Management team. The allocation from Apple is a step forward for minority and women-owned asset managers as institutional investor support is key in allowing MWBE managers to better support their demographic.
“Women remain critically underrepresented at every level of the asset management industry, with the pandemic putting even more pressure on women in the workforce. We at Seelaus are committed to being part of the solution and building a stronger pipeline of young women into the field,” said Annie Seelaus, CEO of R. Seelaus & Co., Inc., in a statement. “We are honored to have the support of Apple who has been at the forefront of the diversity and inclusion discussion and recognizes the need to drive impact across their business, including with their investment dollars.”
Seelaus has begun recruiting for the program at several Historically Black Colleges and Universities and other Minority-Serving Institutions as well as through the alumni networks of the local non-profits they support. Annie Seelaus concluded by saying, “Our hope is that this proves to be an incredibly simple and scalable approach to attracting and retaining women in asset management, and that the program grows significantly over time.”

Will Apple help men who think they are women with this program?
Good question. John Cleese apparently identifies as a Cambodian police woman, so I wonder whether they’d help… um… her…?
Since men who identify as women are allowed to compete in high school state track meets and dominate, it is important that programs like this Apple program be available to help men in the same way.
“Asset Management”, eh? Does that mean bras and panties?
The pigs seem to be coming out of hiding today.
That’s OK. We don’t mind pigs like you TXUSER. We always get a laugh from your mental farts you post here.
So you oppose the Democrat Party program to let biological men compete in women’s sports across the US? Just say so.
