Cadwalader was proud to co-sponsor the third annual Women in Fund Finance golf outing at Dyker Beach Golf Course in Brooklyn, New York.

We are grateful to our co-sponsors, Assured Guaranty and TriState Capital Bank, who have been incredible partners throughout each year of this event. Special thanks to Kristin Castellanos, head of fund finance at TriState Capital Bank, who conceived the event and works tirelessly each year to make it a success for the fund finance community—alongside Cadwalader fund finance partner Leah Edelboim.

This event has grown quickly in just three short years. The first year, there were fewer than 20 golfers, but an important tradition was born. Since then, the event has expanded and introduced many women in our industry to golf in a comfortable, fun environment. Last year, the outing doubled in size with more than 40 women attending. This year, we were proud to go even bigger with nearly 100 golfers joining, including some first-time participants and a few beginner men, making this the biggest and best outing yet.

The day begins with a casual gathering and time for networking, followed by a lesson, lunch and then nine holes of golf. We were delighted to have a beautiful, sunny day this year. Behind all the fun is the recognition that golf can be serious business—and a powerful opportunity to build professional relationships. Many women recognize that but aren’t always sure how to get involved. We’re proud to provide a welcoming space for women in our industry to do just that.

A key feature of this event is that each group of novice golfers is paired with an experienced golfer to guide them through the round. Special thanks to Cadwalader fund finance partner Chad Stackhouse and associates Jason Hessel and Michael Johnson for their contributions.

We also appreciate the support of our clients and many others in the fund finance industry who came out to encourage this next generation of golfers. We hope to see you next year!
