[vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_column_text]Pensions & Investments published a feature story on NEPC’s new Diverse Manager Policy with quotes from Sam Austin. Read the article on P&I’s site here.<\/a> <\/p>\n

NEPC has adopted a new policy increasing the investment consultant’s engagement with minority, women or disabled-owned investment managers.<\/p>\n

NEPC plans to increase its number of meetings with minorities, women and disabled business enterprise firms by 10% in 2020, according to a policy developed by the firm’s diverse managers committee and research team.<\/p>\n

It also plans to have minority managers represent 10% of managers on the firm’s focused placement list by year-end 2021, a 67% increase over the current level of representation.<\/p>\n

In addition, NEPC intends to make efforts to include a diverse manager in searches if a top-rated minority manager is available. The investment consulting firm will also provide preliminary feedback within three months of initial contact with diverse managers.<\/p>\n

Finally, NEPC will put measures in place within its research team and diverse managers committee to ensure that these goals are met.<\/p>\n

“We want more equitable participation (and) intend this policy to be goal-specific, measurable, transparent, responsive and multidimensional,” said Sam Austin, partner and co-chair of NEPC’s diverse managers committee, in a phone interview. “And we hope our leadership role here will be an influence on our fellow consultants in the business.”<\/p>\n

This policy goes into effect Jan. 1.<\/p>\n

NEPC currently has $32.5 billion of client assets invested with diverse firms and maintains a database of over 200 investment firms with majority or substantial minority ownership. More than 43% of NEPC’s clients use diverse investment managers.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
