FISD Boston Buyside Meeting Recap
On May 7th the cry went out in Boston – ‘The British are Coming’, but as it happens it was just a single Brit - FISD’s David Anderson, and he came in unequivocal peace. All for the FISD Boston buyside meeting that afternoon – expertly hosted by Eaton Vance. Twenty two buyside market data practitioners from 9 Boston based firms sat down for two hours of intensive discussion covering Index Benchmarks, Credit Ratings, Audit, ESG, Alternative Data and Equity Research - followed by drinks on the Eaton Vance terrace when the sun finally shone in Boston. This meeting is one part of FISD’s strategic initiative to engage in more depth with our buy side community. For more information about the FISD Buyside group and events, please contact  David Anderson

Announcing Next FISD Reads Book Pick: Loonshots

Lonnshot

Did you know that FISD has a digital book club? Read the book then discuss it with your fellow members on LinkedIn, in person, or on the FISD Discussion Forum (coming soon). Books are focused on leadership topics, business trends, and big picture thinking.
The Summer 2019 pick is Loonshots: How to Nurture the Crazy Ideas that Win Wars, Cure Diseases, and Transform Industries by Safi Bahcall.
Why you should care: This is a highly readable rulebook for fostering breakthrough innovations. Want to see your business survive, want to see your industry remain healthy? Make sure it can grow, and in a big way.
Why it’s awesome: One reviewer wrote, “Who knew that one idea could connect naval battles, chirping crickets, and the birth of modern science. If The Da Vinci Code and Freakanomics had a child together, it would be called Loonshots. This book is a must read for anyone in business, education, or public service.”
Join the LinkedIn group here and stay tuned for updates about the FISD Discussion Forum. Questions? Contact Hope Wilkes.
