FINCAD Now Accepting Applications for its 2019 Women in Finance Scholarship

Reading Time: 2 minutes

VANCOUVER, British Columbia–(BUSINESS WIRE)–FINCAD,
the leading provider of enterprise solutions for multi-asset derivatives
and fixed income portfolios, is pleased to announce its 2019
Women in Finance Scholarship
contest is now accepting applications.
The goal of the scholarship is to acknowledge outstanding women in the
field of finance, particularly those pursuing careers in financial asset
management, market risk management and derivatives finance within the
capital markets.

FINCAD CEO and President, Bob Park, established the scholarship program
in 2014. This year he has doubled the award, bringing it to a US$20,000
award opportunity. “Traditionally careers in finance and the capital
markets have largely been occupied by men,” Bob commented. “While more
women are entering these careers than in the past, there continues to be
a gender gap. Particularly in the middle to senior level management
finance jobs, there is room for greater gender diversity. With this
scholarship, we are hoping to help level this imbalance through giving
one qualified woman the necessary financial support to further her
education and ultimately attain a rewarding career in the fast-growing
field of derivatives finance.”

In an interview, the recipient of last year’s Women in Finance
scholarship award, Monica Carrasco, stated, “My home country of Bolivia
is not a wealthy nation with an abundance of opportunity. I realized
early on that dedicating myself to learning and receiving a quality
education were factors that would enable me to pursue my dreams and
really be anything I wanted to be—despite my humble beginnings.” Once
Monica completes her education, she plans to continue her work as a
Finance professor. She also aspires to achieve a leadership position in
a financial institution based in Bolivia.

FINCAD’s US$20,000 Women in Finance scholarship opportunity is open to
women of any age and citizenship. Eligible candidates must be studying
finance in a graduate-level program at an accredited institution and
must be pursuing or planning to pursue a career in asset management,
financial market risk management or derivatives finance. Complete
application packages are due on or before June 30, 2019. Further details
are available at www.fincad.com/womeninfinance.

Apollo Green to distribute Humboldt Seed Company clonal cannabis genetics to Germany, Portugal and Australia

SAN FRANCISCO, April 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Humboldt Seed Company (HSC), California’s leading cannabis seed producer, has announced a partnership with Canadian-based Apollo Green to make eight breeder cuts available to researchers, licensed commercial cultivators and home growers in legal markets worldwide. This first-to-market clonal genetics release is a significant milestone and will expand access to distinctive, high-quality cannabis genetics in both established and emerging global markets including Germany, Portugal and Australia.

The curated, breeder-verified selection includes pioneering triploid genetics, such as OG Triploid and Donutz Triploid alongside the legendary cult classic Blueberry Muffin. Also available are All Gas OG with a THC content of 21% and four high-THC strains in the 30-35% range: Golden Sands, Guzzlerz, Jelly Donutz and Orange Creampop. These selections represent the top .01% from HSC’s extensive California pheno-hunting program.

Exports will begin in May under Apollo Green’s Canadian federal cannabis license. All shipments have Canadian phytosanitary certification, ensuring plants have been inspected, and are clean and free of pests.

“Access for all to quality genetics has been our core focus since the beginning,” said HSC Co-founder and Chief Science Officer, Benjamin Lind. “Our science-based approach to breeding aligns perfectly with Apollo Green’s high standards and we are excited to be able to extend these hand-selected cuts to a wider audience, especially at this pivotal time where we’re seeing positive regulatory changes globally.”

Oisin Tierney, Apollo Green Director of Business Development, said, “California has long been recognized for setting industry standards, and we are proud to play a role in bringing these esteemed genetics to cultivators worldwide. The triploids are especially noteworthy in terms of the unprecedented potential for enhanced plant vigor, higher yields, shorter flowering times and superior returns for solventless extraction.”
