We’re delighted to announce that Latrena Petkova has been named one of the Rising Stars of 2020 by Investment Week.
In association with HSBC Global Asset Management, Investment Week looked at all aspects of diversity throughout the next generation of talent in the wealth management industry. As an integral part of our team, we hugely appreciate Latrena’s talent and hard work, and its great to see this being recognised by a well-known industry publication.
Investment week noted “The nominations received for Investment Week’s Rising Stars series were vast and contrasted. Yet our exclusive list is able to demonstrate how many investment firms are enabling young, diverse talent to succeed.”
In the feature, Latrena says “In an industry that lacks diversity in all aspects, as a part-business owner at 33, I feel my story goes some way to show women and the BAME community that you can make your mark in the investment industry, as long as you do not allow yourself to be pigeonholed or underestimated. I continually make efforts to push beyond the usual parameters and break through the received ‘ceiling’ in my role. Importantly I do not believe this has been to the detriment of my home life.”
I am sure you will join us in congratulating Latrena, both on this achievement and on the recent birth of her second child, Mabel.
