In October 2013, High Water Women convened a Symposium on Investing for Impact in NYC attended by 270 impact practitioners and investors.

High Water Women (HWW) is a 501 (c) 3 organization founded in 2005 by women in the hedge fund and investment industries with a focus on providing enriched educational opportunities for low-income youth and the economic empowerment of women and children. As an extension of our thought leadership in values-based investing, in 2013, HWW launched an Impact Investing initiative with a Symposium for Family Offices, Foundations, Endowments and other Investors.
