For far too long, when it comes to impact investing, finance has been talking to itself to decide what matters. If we truly care about having an impact, we must go to those we intend to impact and LISTEN to them, ask what we should be working on, and go do that thing.

If you're looking for asset managers that make an impact and/or looking for asset managers from underrepresented backgrounds, please keep these realities in mind. Suggestions on rethinking due diligence with an eye toward asset manager diversity:. 4/4.

The business building efforts of women and BIPOC-owned asset management firms can be held back by the combination of.- the current environment of extreme fee compression, paired with.- their statistically less personal wealth available to build a business. 3/.

Unfortunately, just as women and BIPOC folks are beginning to be welcomed into asset management, and gender and racial equity are emerging as critical themes in impact investing, the firms best equipped to do this work - those owned by BIPOC & women - are underresourced. 2/.

To generate real impact, we need to employ a set of people who haven’t traditionally been welcomed into the financial industry – women and those from Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities. 1/.

Whether a company stands with the queer community because of corporate values or because of the financial opportunity that comes with the more diverse and inclusive future, now is the time to stand strong in that support. fin/.

This moment is an opportunity for companies to double down on support for the queer community - not only b/c that support may be in the company’s stated values but also b/c there is a larger opportunity here: the chance to be a leader prepared for a more inclusive future. 8/.

When backlash to social progress arises, it is critical that companies stay the course, not reacting in a way that runs counter to their values in order to fend off temporary backlash. Instead we would all do well to look at the long term trends toward a more diverse society. 7/.

Social justice causes show us where the future is going. At @adasina_ we see social justice causes as an early indicator of future risk areas. 6/.

Backlash to social progress is often driven by a small, vocal minority angry about widening opportunities and acceptance for a broader group of people. This holds true w recent violence, threats, and legislation against trans people, and the queer community more broadly. 5/.

When a brand changes course so quickly, it makes me wonder whether their support stemmed from their values, or it was fair-weather support all along. How genuine is support that caves easily to backlash?. 4/.

For years many large corporate brands have publicly supported Pride and the LGBTQ+ community. Seeing companies waver now in their support in the face of anti-woke - and specifically anti-trans - rhetoric is disappointing. 3/.

As we close out #PrideMonth, I want to share my thoughts about Anheuser-Busch and Target’s reactions to threats from the “anti-woke” crowd. Before I get into it, some context: Neither Anheuser-Busch (BUD) nor Target (TGT) are held in Adasina Social Capital's JUSTICE index. 2/.
