Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Our Statement of Beliefs

The Pacific Pension & Investment Institute (PPI) is committed to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), both within our organization and in the global institutional investor community. We believe that DEI strengthens organizations and PPI benefits from a diverse and inclusive management team, board, and membership. Likewise, our member institutions are strengthened when they are more representative and inclusive.

Diversification goes beyond portfolios. For institutional investors, diversifying portfolios is a given. The same principle applies to diversifying teams. DEI enhances the stewardship of capital. As controllers of large pools of capital, our members have the capacity to influence meaningful improvement in DEI.

Actions matter more than words. For this reason, PPI encourages the exchange of actionable ideas. And there is value in a global conversation. PPI helps our international community to consider DEI in the context of different parts of the world, reflecting the global nature of the asset management industry.

PPI seeks to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) within the global institutional investor community. We believe that PPI can play a unique role to facilitate global discussions and inspire actionable ideas for promoting this important set of issues.
