On this day in 1963 the Equal Pay Act was signed into law as part of President Kennedy’s New Frontier Program. As a women-owned firm, Paradigm Capital Management has been proud to promote equal opportunities for all over the past 30 years.

As Women’s History Month comes to a close Paradigm Capital Management continues to celebrate the ongoing success of women within our firm and throughout the financial sector. We applaud the recently launched Women’s Initiative at Columbia University’s Institute of Global Politics and the Initiative’s inaugural fellow Stacey Abrams for their efforts to create actionable policy proposals to ensure women and girls around the globe become economically secure. Read more about the initiative below. https://lnkd.in/gpXFvgUV

Today is #InternationalWomensDay, which was first recognized by the United Nations in 1977. This year, the UN’s theme for IWD is “Invest in women: Accelerate progress”. We recognize the progress towards equality that has been made over the past 47 years of IWD and look forward to continued efforts to accelerate opportunities and equality for women across all industries. At woman-founded and women-owned Paradigm Capital Management, we will continue to invest in advancing the careers of women in the investment management industry in the years to come.
