The power of change
The what, why and how of creating a diverse private markets portfolio
As institutional investors’ increasing appetite to embrace and promote Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) within their investment portfolios coincides with a push into private markets, we have explored how they can be intertwined within their investment strategy.
We have drawn on various studies that probed DE&I in private markets from both our own research and third-party sources. We also assessed work on diversity more broadly, to gain a holistic understanding of the impact it can have on an organization. We researched and evaluated various asset managers’ private markets DE&I programs and reviewed conversations with investors on their emerging manager programs to assess how they create, implement and oversee their specific approaches.
