TLDR:
- DEI push is slipping down the agenda in leading private equity firms
- New ranking reveals top 10 PE and VC firms in DEI index
In a recent study of nearly 300 private equity firms with over $1bn in assets under management, it was found that the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) push is losing traction among some of the industry’s top players. While the average DEI score has increased this year, progress seems to be stagnating at the higher end of the rankings. This indicates that the PE industry as a whole remains at an ‘DEI Intermediate’ level according to Honordex.
The findings suggest that there is still work to be done in promoting and prioritizing DEI within the private equity sector in order to create a more inclusive and diverse environment.
