Global investment consulting and fiduciary management firm Meketa Investment Group has adopted the voluntary diversity, equity and inclusion framework launched by CFA Institute. The Diversity, Equity and Include Code for Investment Professionals in the United States and Canada (DEI Code) aims to provide the investment industry with a principles-based framework to ensure positive DEI-related change in the workplace. Having adopted the code, Meketa will be expected to adopt a DEI policy and statement, establish a senior leadership ownership and oversight governance process, and implement a strategy to integrate DEI within the firm’s processes within two years. Signatories are also committed to driving positive DEI progress through staff acquisition and retention and leadership. Sarah Maynard, ASIP, Global Head of External DEI at CFA Institute, said: “In working together to improve diversity, equity and inclusion in the investment industry, signatory organisations are making clear their public commitment to delivering on the work and change needed to participate meaningfully in this effort.”
