Boston, MA – October 28, 2020 – Nicsa is pleased to announce the release of its 2020 Pulse Survey Report: a pulse check on the perception of diversity, equity and inclusion in the asset management industry.
As part of its mission to accelerate D&I in the asset management industry, Nicsa’s Diversity Project North America partnered with CareerAgility to conduct a Pulse Survey of its members and those in the broader industry. Survey questions centered on beliefs around D&I and corporate progress.
The report seeks to identify the gaps and provide baselines from which the industry can measure its progress. This is the first year Nicsa has conducted the survey. The takeaways are intended to serve as a baseline to measure progress against as the industry moves forward on the path toward inclusivity and equity.
Justine Phoenix, Head of Diversity Project North America stated, “The research acts to illuminate the issues and presents an opportunity for the industry to collectively raise the bar and work together to build the tools that allow people the opportunity to develop in an inclusive environment.”
“At Nicsa, we are confident that our member firms are committed to change, and we are proud to be among the industry leaders calling for greater diversity, equity and inclusion. Our collaborative efforts will help position the global asset management industry for the workforce of the future, diversified and transparent, with equitable opportunity for all,” said Jim Fitzpatrick, President & CEO of Nicsa.
This is the first year Nicsa has conducted the survey. The research paper is available via the organization’s website at nicsa.org.
