IN BRIEF
Transparency into diversity and inclusion at asset management and hedge fund firms serving institutional investors
In collaboration with the Institutional Investing Diversity Cooperative, a consortium of over a dozen top investment consultants, Nasdaq eVestment™ began collecting diversity and inclusion data in December 2020. The D&I questionnaire gives asset managers and hedge funds an opportunity to provide narrative commentary on their firms’ D&I initiatives and, for those that are able to report it, D&I statistics on their portfolio team.

What Asset Owners Need to Know
You can now screen managers to identify those that have provided D&I commentary and/or statistics. In addition to firm ownership, you can now screen on multiple questions on staffing and people, at both the firm and product level.
What Managers and Hedge Funds Need to Know
Consultants and asset owners are actively screening for managers and hedge funds that provide D&I commentary and/or statistics. Even if you’re not able to report statistical data on the composition of your portfolio team, you can still narrate what you are doing as a firm to achieve D&I objectives. Keep in mind that failing to provide commentary may give the impression that your firm does not currently have any initiatives relating to diversity and inclusion.
Asset managers can now screen on more D&I considerations than ever before. Nasdaq eVestment clients, please login to access manager profiles and the most up-to-date information.
