This is great insight into the world of asset management. Johnny's caliber and experience match those of his guests. This is the opposite of your run-of-the-mill finance TV show, where you only get soundbites and shallow commentary.
Description
AAAIM's podcast series, "AAAIM High ELI" is focused on highlighting leaders whose voice and story can inspire the next generation of Asians in the investment management industry. Podcast guests will include senior asset allocators, industry leaders, established and emerging managers, and content experts passionate about raising the representation of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) in the senior ranks across the industry. Over time, we hope our podcasts will serve as a library of valuable content for the AAAIM community as well as the extended investment community.
