Aon Unveils Diverse Manager Investing Survey Report

April 21, 2021

The events of 2020 have impacted how institutional investors think about diversity (gender, race, LGBTQ, etc.) in their investment portfolios. Against this backdrop, Aon conducted a survey of institutional investors that revealed increased pressure from boards and beneficiaries to address diversity in their portfolio.

This report examines the potential challenges associated with diverse investing initiatives, as well as the reasons why investors pursue diverse investing initiatives, current trends in institutional investor diversity policies/programs, potential components of diverse investment programs, how diversity is defined and the pros and cons of those definitions, and more.
