Diversity Project
Their Mission
The Diversity Project is a cross-company initiative championing a truly diverse and inclusive UK investment and savings industry with the right talent to deliver the best possible financial outcomes for their clients, to reflect the society they serve and ultimately build more sustainable businesses.
Their members are asset owners, investment managers, fund selectors, investment consultants, actuaries, trustees, family offices and wealth managers. Their partners and supporters include data providers, recruiters, professional standards authorities, trade bodies, and other organisations within the financial services sector.
Their Vision
They believe that they have an extraordinary opportunity to press the re-set button in their industry: to recruit, nurture and retain the first truly diverse generation of Investment and Savings professionals. That generation will themselves perpetuate diversity in their industry; they are looking to break one cycle and create another.
If they are successful:
- Their businesses will better reflect both society at large, and the individuals who trust them with their money.
- Their people will create better financial outcomes to benefit their diverse savers and investors.
- They will attract more interest in the industry, with a pipeline of diverse talent.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is not only a social obligation, it’s a business imperative in their Industry.
