Many institutions and organizations create partnerships with non-profits and it is always heart-warming when they do so. One such organization, Oasis Management, where Seth Hillel Fischer is the Chief Investment Officer and portfolio manager, has close ties to the Karen Leung Foundation. As a founding sponsor of the nonprofit, Oasis has invested time and money in this Foundation.
The Karen Leung Foundation was founded in memory of Oasis trader Karen Leung. She died in October of 2012 at the age of 35 after fighting metastatic cervical cancer. The Foundation was founded to help fund and promote education, prevention, research and treatment of gynecological cancers.
Oasis Management, with Seth Hillel Fischer, has been a proud partner in many of their activities. They were a partner in the inaugural Karen Leung Memorial Investor Conference that was held in Hong Kong in June of 2013. All proceeds from the conference went to the Foundation. They partnered again in 2014 at the investor conference in Hong Kong where there was an exciting new partnership between the Karen Leung Foundation and the Sohn Conference Foundation.
Leung was only 34 and engaged when she was diagnosed with cervical cancer in November of 2011. Before she died, she expressed that she wanted to raise awareness among Hong Kong women and girls about gynecological cancers so that others might have the information to prevent cancer and detect it in the early stages. Certainly, Oasis Management is proud to be part of the Foundation and to help to keep Leung’s memory alive.
