hopes to achieve diversity in many different
areas, including - but not limited to - gender,
socio-economic background, age, ethnicity,
disability and LGBTI+.
The project is looking to increase diversity
across the entire profession, from fund ma-
nagers and selectors to asset owners, actua-
ries, trustees, pension consultants, wealth
managers and the professional standards
and trade bodies. The Diversity Project
believes that having a diverse culture in the
savings and investment industry promotes
better investment decisions and effective
teamwork, resulting in more sustainable bu-
sinesses and better outcomes for the client.
The project itself has an open, collaborative
and holistic structure, working in partnership
with individual firms on existing complemen-
tary initiatives. One such partner is Legal and
General Investment Management, which
also has a member of its staff – the Head of
Personal Investing, Dame Helena Morrissey -
on the CEO Advisory Board for the project.
THE PROJECT ITSELF HAS AN OPEN,
COLLABORATIVE AND HOLISTIC
STRUCTURE, WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP
WITH INDIVIDUAL FIRMS ON EXISTING
COMPLEMENTARY INITIATIVES.
