Diversity is a topic that is discussed and promoted in every boardroom and in all the C-suites across Europe and North America these days. But the term “diversity” typically means gender diversity or ethnic diversity. But diversity has many dimensions, and my experience is that they matter for investment success. I have always felt more comfortable in investment teams with diverse cultural and educational backgrounds because it seemed they were more open to assess investment opportunities and risks more broadly.
Very interesting read. However, why is diversity then still such a major issue in the investment industry? Quite interesting also the recent turmoil at BlackRock, internally by some referred to as WhiteRock, with regards to diversity.
