On Oct 1, WCM & Rotman's Institute for Gender and the Economy hosted a challenge that used design thinking and empathy to encourage students to propose solutions focused on influencing structural change in capital markets. This is the recap:

Why has there not been more progress promoting gender diversity, particularly at the managerial level, in capital markets? To explore this question, in collaboration with WCM, GATE brought together several industry professionals for a panel discussion. Here's what they had to say.

Toronto’s most prominent returnship is Women in Capital Markets’ Return to Bay Street, which works with a broad group of financial institutions to help women relaunch careers. In four years, the initiative has placed 42 women back in the industry.

WCM's Job Shadow Day is a free, day-long event, featuring interactive workshops, networking and mentoring sessions, presentations profiling women with diverse careers in the capital markets, and an afternoon of job shadowing with a mentor who works in the industry. Past Job Shadow Days have been a tremendous success as they have given students a first-hand view of the exciting careers in capital markets.

'We haven't seen the change that we would like to see,' says Camilla Sutton, CEO of Women in Capital Markets. For 25 years, Camilla Sutton has been a mover and a shaker on Bay Street. At the Bank of Nova Scotia, she did everything from equity research to running the bank's global foreign exchange.
