Asset managers, and private markets investors in particular, historically have not been poster children for diversity. Recent research confirms that ethnic minorities and women are still under-represented to a large extent. Yet the industry understands better than most the power of diversity, both in terms of portfolio allocation and as a major employer in the global economy. What are the signs that diversity efforts are reaching a tipping point in asset management? And what are the models that work? How can we continue to promote—and, more importantly, accelerate—the goal of an equitable future? And is there a way we can harness the momentum of our times to use finance for good?

This session will be hosted in Citi Terrace | Elevating Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
