Culture has always been important, but now it is recognised as such
“The industry is consciously addressing [transparency around diversity and culture]. Things haven’t changed hugely, but they are changing.”
We asked investment industry representatives: Where are you seeing progress on culture?
Speakers emphasised there is gradual change compared to a few decades ago. For example, questions are asked around a firm’s culture by candidates in the interviewing process as they want reassurance their voices will be heard.
Similarly, in fund analysis, an internal focus on values and commitments and transparency around a company’s culture can be a key differentiator and be a decider on where an allocation is placed.
