Mission Statement

The Institutional Investing Diversity Cooperative (IIDC) aims to promote greater diversity in the institutional asset management industry by advocating for access to data that would capture multiple dimensions of diversity. We believe having more underrepresented minorities in ownership, leadership, and portfolio management roles improves the conversation, opens opportunities for all, and benefits the community at large; most importantly, we believe diverse investment teams - and viewpoints - enhance investment decision-making. Capitalizing on our size and influence in the industry, we can better serve the needs of our clients and the millions of people who have entrusted the security of their future to our success.

*Underrepresented minorities as broadly defined to include specific groups based on gender, ethnicity, veteran, disabled, and related characteristics.
