Racial Equity in Asset Management: Asset Owners’ Perspectives

October 15, 2020

Overview

A virtual Asset Owner Series™ event, presented in conjunction with CFA Society New York’s Diversity Speaker Series.

What can the asset management industry do to affect positive and sustainable racial change? What unique role should asset owners play in advancing the industry? What new expectations do asset owners have of the asset managers they hire? What metrics and parameters will be used to measure asset managers, and how will they be held accountable?
