Hispanic Heritage Foundation Investors Forum

The HHF Investors Forum is an initiative for Latino investors:  trustees, investment staff, and asset managers. The Forum

  1. provides educational content on investments and asset management best practices,
  2. builds a diverse network of investors and asset managers, and
  3. creates a pipeline of Latinos to grow into trustee and senior investment roles.

We started the HHF initiative in 2014 conducted to fulfill the pillars from above.

Remarks of Past Attendees

“A group of freakishly smart Latino and Latina investors doing impressive things. All extremely humble and eager to learn about what everyone else is doing; less eager to talk about ourselves. Situated on a college campus, with some of our youth in attendance. Met some interesting GPs, a few peer LPs, and a couple of ambitious students. It was a good day. A very good day.”

– Al Hemmingsen, CIO of Parkland Management Company (Single Family Office)

“Thank you to the Hispanic Heritage Foundation and Emanuel Pleitez for an amazing experience today participating on the “Understanding Institutional Asset Allocation” panel during their 6th annual Investors Forum.”

– Robert Sinclair, CIO of Single Family Office
