Download the Factsheet

We recognize that, as an industry, there’s a long way to go. To understand our progress moving forward, we need a benchmark. You support this effort by providing the data we request in eVestment.

We do not use demographic data alone to screen out, rate or recommend managers.

Failing to answer D&I questions gives the impression that diversity, equity and inclusion are not priorities for your firm.

We are most interested in the policies, programs and practices you’re developing to increase diversity at your firm. The qualitative questions in eVestment give you the opportunity to describe them.
