Behavioral Finance: Applying Lessons to Asset Management

Date, Time, and Location:
Wednesday, May 15, 2019 (add this event to your Outlook Calendar)
11:30 am – 1:00 pm
The Chicago Club, 81 E. Van Buren Street, Chicago, IL 60605 (Driving Directions)

Program Description:
Many finance industry professionals are generally familiar with the principle findings of Behavioral Finance. Most have heard of Confirmation Bias, the tendency to seek data that supports one’s beliefs; or Loss Aversion, the well-documented habit of overweighting the possibility of loss versus a similar probability of even larger gain. But if the general teachings of Behavioral Finance are well accepted, there is far less agreement about best practices to combat these tendencies, even those which lead to suboptimal decision making. In his presentation “Combating Unhealthy Behavioral Tendencies in an Investment Firm” Charlie Bobrinskoy, Vice Chairman and Head of Investment Group for Ariel Investments, will discuss how Ariel has adjusted its investment process to incorporate the latest academic findings in the field of Behavioral Economics, and how these process improvements have helped Ariel’s flagship Mutual Fund, The Ariel Fund, become number #1 in its category over the last 10 years.

Speaker Bios:

Daniella Levitt is executive director of Leading Women Executives and president of Ovation Global Strategies. Levitt, who grew up in South Africa, moved to the United States at age 26 and spent 11 years with Deloitte Consulting before joining Aon Consulting as a senior vice president. After Aon, Levitt founded Ovation Global Strategies.

Her initial focus for the business was assisting corporations with project management for complex regulatory, technology and operational transformational change initiatives. She then turned her eye to three subjects she was extremely passionate about – advancement of women in the workplace; inter-generational leadership; and risk taking. She challenged herself to apply her transformational change experience, thought leadership, creativity, and ideation, to bring unique and innovative frameworks, tools, content and programs to the marketplace related to these subject areas. In rising to her own challenge, she successfully expanded the scope of services under the Ovation Global Strategies umbrella.

Levitt developed and launched the gen-xyb™ program, a corporate program focused on inter-generational professional development and collaboration for women. This highly successful program brought together women in cross-generational pairs from different companies, with each cohort participating in a year-long program cycle.

In 2017, Leading Women Executives approached Levitt about coming on board as their executive director, a position she accepted. She is also a board member of the Chicago Sinfonietta, and a member of the YWCA’s Impact Investing Advisory Council. She is also an author and published her first book, Ready, Set…RISK! – a book about positive strategies and tactics for women to turn career risk into opportunity.

Levitt is now focused on her role as executive director at Leading Women Executives; the continued growth of Ovation Global Strategies; her research for her second book, which will be tied into her inter-generational leadership work; and the launch of a new business enterprise – family centric advisory services focused on inter-generational legacy building, leadership, and philanthropic identity development that is achieved through an integrated approach of workshops, travel and events.
