About

The University of Notre Dame’s Institute for Global Investing (‘NDIGI’) will be holding its eighth annual Women’s Investing Summit (‘WIS’) on Thursday, February 26th and Friday, February 27th, 2026, on the campus of the University of Notre Dame. This two-day summit is a marquee event for NDIGI’s inclusion initiative to promote diversity within asset management. By convening female investment professionals to address a diverse student population on important investment themes and challenges, we hope to educate and inspire students to pursue careers in investment management. We are targeting an audience of over 400 students across disciplines and backgrounds, and many are already actively involved in helping craft content and discussions for WIS.  

A core tenet of NDIGI is expanding the range of perspectives and experiences shaping the investment industry, and WIS plays a meaningful role by giving students the opportunity to engage with accomplished investors whose insights and leadership help define the field. We believe this forum sparks curiosity, confidence, and ambition among students considering careers in investing, while reinforcing for all participants that excellence, judgment, and innovation transcend any single background or identity. We have seen the power of these conversations in our classrooms and are excited to see their influence carry forward into the industry.
