RTSWS Sponsor Cetera Financial Group Recognized for Wealth Management Awards

Cetera Financial Group, a sponsor of Rock The Street, Wall Street (RTSWS), has been named a finalist for four 2024 Wealth Management Industry Awards, “The Wealthies.” One notable recognition is for Cetera’s Women’s+ Employee Resource Group (ERG) and its impactful partnership with RTSWS.

Cetera’s Women’s+ ERG collaborated with RTSWS to mentor 18 high school girls over a five-week program, culminating in a tour of Cetera’s El Segundo office and a career panel featuring female employees. The program resulted in a 74.6% improvement in the students’ financial literacy scores and inspired several participants to consider careers in finance, with some expressing interest in internships and further studies in economics, finance, or related fields.

This recognition underscores Cetera’s commitment to fostering innovation, inclusivity, and empowering future female leaders in finance. We congratulate Cetera on their achievements and their partnership with RTSWS.

Study Highlights Gender Inequities in Promotion Practices Within Australia’s Finance Sector

A recent CFA Institute study found that women in Australia’s finance sector are less likely to receive unsolicited promotions than men. However, when women request promotions, they have a higher success rate.

The study calls for standardized promotion policies to address systemic gender bias, as unsolicited promotions contribute to a financial advantage for men. CFA Institute aims to support the industry in reducing inequities through its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Code.
