From Chicago to Naples: our very own Yezdaan Baber (CEO) and Megan Morgan (Head of Market Structure) are heading down to warmer weather to attend the Global Financial Leadership Conference presented by CME Group. Through next week, Yezdaan & Megan will be attending panels & sitting in on speeches from leaders such as Ken Griffin, Doug Cifu, and former United States President George W. Bush. With the topics of global affairs, monetary policy, and advancements in technology on the table, it is sure to be a jam-packed week of valuable takeaways.

I am excited to host an in-person fireside chat with my good friend Yezdaan Baber, CEO of Belvedere Trading, LLC, almost a week from today. We'll discuss Yezdaan's background, upbringing, long-term vision for the firm, AI, and thoughts on the markets. This will be an intimate gathering of Chicago's tech, business, corporate, and civic leaders. RSVP is required. If you want to join, just DM/email/text me or stick a note on a pigeon, and I'll give you the RSVP link.

To kick off the weekend, Belvedere Cares sponsored the Jackson Chance Foundation at their annual Ping Pong Ball! Through an intense tournament and a live auction, members of Team Belvedere helped raise funding for a special cause. The Jackson Chance Foundation was founded by Carrie and Terry Meghie in honor of their son, Jackson Chance, who spent all but 48 hours of his 10-month-life in the NICU. While their son fought to live every day, they were met with thousands of dollars in parking fees. Many NICU families face a tough decision every day: pay their bills to live, or go to see their baby. The Jackson Chance Foundation helps families avoid having to make this impossible choice. Belvedere was proud to sponsor such an incredible foundation in their efforts to make sure that NICU families are able to spend as much time as they can with their babies. ??

This past weekend, Team Belvedere’s Women’s Initiative flew from Chicago to Boulder to grow, connect, and plan for 2025! Hear from our Women’s Initiative Committee Lead, Christine Smessaert, about their weekend: “The Women's Initiative committee touched down in Boulder, greeted by blue skies, crisp mountain air, and a palpable excitement… We set out not only to make plans but also to build deeper connections and make unforgettable memories. The week was all about grounding ourselves in the importance of our mission and diving into a discussion on women's career development. There was an energy in the room as ideas flew around about finding powerful speakers, organizing transformative workshops, and creating events that would inspire and elevate. We quickly realized the beauty of our collective diversity-each woman brought her own career experiences, perspectives, and challenges to the table. This blend of voices allowed us to envision programming that would resonate across the organization. Our evenings were reserved for unwinding together- cozy dinners, fun stories, and laughing so hard we cried. The unfiltered joy and warmth of each night reinforced why we were there- not just to create a strategy but to form friendships and an inclusive foundation of support. We crafted a holistic approach that reflected our different roles, backgrounds, and career stages by bringing together the women from both offices. We committed to building an intentional program that acknowledged this diversity, ensuring that each voice was represented. This retreat was more than just a planning session - it was a testament to the power of shared experiences and the strength that comes from standing together. 2025 will be a year of growth, advocacy, and impact.”

We are honored to support A Leg To Stand On (ALTSO) at the 13th Annual Rocktober Fest. Come snap a picture with us! ??
