The C. T. Bauer College of Business at the University of Houston is partnering with the Houston Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and MassMutual Financial Group to educate the Latino community about fiscal fitness. Amegy Bank hosted the November 20th event at its Main Street corporate office building.“Roughly about 80 percent of Latino adults have not consulted a financial advisor,” said Latha Ramchand, Associate Dean of Programs and Administration at Bauer College. “This partnership is an initiative from which many communities can benefit. It demonstrates the depth of Bauer and the educational and research resources we can provide.”Before more than 100 Hispanic business and community leaders, Ramchand and other representatives from the partnership gathered at the official launch event to explain more about the research and to celebrate the beginning of the project. The group is obtaining information on the Houston-area Latino community through surveys conducted to assess the fiscal fitness and knowledge of business owners and entrepreneurs in managing financial assets.
