Nurturing more diversity in investment management – Yolanda Beattie

In this episode we speak with Yolanda Beattie, founder of the Future IM/Pact initiative, which is aimed at increasing the diversity of talent coming into investment management industry. Progress in recruiting more diverse people into investment management- particularly women – has been made in recent years, mainly in mid-level roles, but more work is needed.

Beattie has noted that the twin trends of continued consolidation of superannuation fund and the growing internal investment teams at those funds presents an opportunity for the superannuation fund industry to collectively break down structural barriers to gender parity in the industry.

Beattie talks about how her innovative program partners with major super funds and investment managers including recent signatories UniSuper, Aware Super, Pinnacle Investment Management and TDM Growth Partners are working to develop the next generation of diverse talent.
