Diversity Project - Investment Industry
Financial Services
Accelerating progress towards an inclusive culture in the investment and savings profession.
About us
The purpose of the Diversity Project is to accelerate progress towards an inclusive culture in the investment and savings profession. An inclusive culture across all levels supports more effective teamwork, gives wider perspectives, better investment decisions, better results for our clients and ultimately more sustainable businesses. The Project spans the whole range of the profession: asset owners, fund managers, fund selectors, pension consultants, actuaries, trustees, wealth managers and the professional standards and trade bodies. We believe that recognisable and measurable progress can be achieved over the Project’s five year timeframe. We aim to achieve diversity across all dimensions, including gender, ethnicity, socio-economic background, LGBTI+, age and disability. Metrics to assess progress will be published following an analysis of the industry’s existing position across these dimensions. Contact us at info@diversityproject.com to find out more about this project, or if you would like to get involved.
