The National Action Network recently sent letters to two higher education institutions asking them to report and break out granular data on the diversity of their collective $40 billion in endowment assets as it looks to tackle the issue of utilization of diverse-owned asset management firms.
Many endowments plan to increase their allocations to diverse-owned managers and make ESG and impact investing a priority next year, according to a new survey.
A Northeastern asset management and advisory firm has increased its allocations to diverse managers to 3% of assets under management as of June 30 compared to 2.1% in 2016, according to its inaugural Diversity, Equity And Inclusion Report.
Foundations and endowments are broadening their approach to promoting diversity and inclusion beyond hiring diverse-owned asset managers, according to a new report.
