Hiding in Plain Sight Part 2: Solutions for Fighting Racism in the Asset Management Industry
In a time of statements condemning racism and supporting Black Lives Matter, one might wonder what true commitment to racial equity and justice looks like in a sector largely closed and historically harmful to Black people and communities. Beyond reading and listening, what are the essential elements to shift from transactional relationships to transformational change within firms and the sector as a whole and what are the demands of the urgency of this moment? This discussion will help frame the systemic nature of racism, share lessons learned for making the commitment and shifting to action, and what the financial services sector can gain by taking this issue seriously. Join Erika Seth Davies and the following guests for a robust discussion we’re hosting in partnership with Common Future:
