Abby Joseph Cohen’s voice of reason is well known for sounding loud and clear calls to financial investors which often go against consensus view. “I love the challenge of the market. It has so many moving pieces, and I’m told I’m pretty good at it,” she demurs. Unlike many of her peers who have made it big, Cohen doesn’t seek the limelight. She’s not glamorous or flashy. She doesn’t live in Manhattan. And despite her crammed calendar, Cohen makes time for several nonprofits, including The Jewish Theological Seminary and Hillel.
