Committed to
Diversity & Inclusion
Diverse perspectives accelerate innovation and strengthen our competitive advantage. Finding and fostering those perspectives is vital to our success as a firm.
We are committed to building an inclusive workplace where every individual can learn, thrive and pursue excellence. To deliver on this commitment, we develop promising talent from groups traditionally underrepresented in finance and STEM.
Empowering Underrepresented Groups
In our recruiting efforts, we champion diverse talent through events, sponsorships and partnerships with campus-based diversity groups and other organizations.
In partnership with Thrive Scholars, we have built an externship program to support high-achieving students of color. The program teaches transferable technical skills, financial acumen and professional soft skills that underpin lasting success in finance.
In addition, we continue to build on our internal programming to support underrepresented groups and foster an atmosphere of inclusion within our firm.
Investing in Tomorrow’s Talent
Excellence is everywhere, but it requires opportunity to flourish. More equitable access to STEM education will lift up talented individuals, benefiting our industry and society.
As such, we nurture the next generation of outstanding talent. We support innovative teaching and learning models that drive excellence in problem-solving and STEM by providing funding and mentorship.
We support the vital efforts of organizations such as the College Board, Thrive Scholars, Breakthrough Tech, Data Science for Everyone, The Greenwood Project and AnitaB.org, among others.
