Wickware Quarterly > Fall 2008


Welcome to the fall 2008 issue of Wickware Quarterly. From learning about the process of great graphic design to exploring the parallels between predicting the markets and predicting the weather, this issue is full of information and ideas for financial industry professionals like you.

Happy reading, and please drop me a line if you have any questions or comments.

Yours truly,

Asif Nasim, CIM
Managing Director

 
 
  New York City is widely considered the centre of the financial universe. So how does the Big Apple invest its own $105 billion pension plan? Stewart Dier, Managing Director of Private Markets for the NYC Comptroller’s Office, recently shared with us five emerging investment trends that have captured his interest.
     
  Graphic design is a subjective art form, and breakthrough ideas are more often the result of mysterious inspiration than cold calculation. Even so, having a clearly-defined process can be a critical factor in the success of a design project.
     
  Predicting the markets is a lot like predicting the weather—many try, but few succeed. With today’s market volatility being likened to the monster tsunamis, killer hurricanes, and historic floods of recent years, we thought it would be interesting to explore some of the intersections between weather and commerce.
     
  Everyone knows that AUM stands for “Animal Unit Month”, right? According to acronymfinder.com, many of the three-letter acronyms we routinely use in the financial industry do not have universal meaning.
     
  We’re pleased to announce that, after months of studying, a grueling exam, and intensive portfolio review by a jury of her peers, our Art Director, Nadine Kuhlkamp, has earned the Registered Graphic Designer (RGD) designation.
