Group discussion in a meeting

“European asset management is undergoing a transformation due to the shift from DB to DC, technological disruption, digital distribution and regulatory change. To better serve clients and stay competitive, the industry must evolve and widen its talent pool. Not only will this benefit the industry, but it will also have an impact beyond this, building a workforce that is more representative of today’s diverse society.”

Ric van Weelden, Acting Chair of the DPE's Advisory Committee

“At Aegon Asset Management we embrace diversity and inclusion, as we believe that acknowledging, understanding, and appreciating the differences between individuals helps us create a culture that enhances our business and benefits both our employees and our customers. This culture can only be delivered in an environment where our people and stakeholders share personal accountability for building an inclusive and diverse organization. Along with making D&I a vital component of our culture, we strongly feel it is important for our industry to also step up and fully embrace D&I. As such, we are proud to become founding members of Diversity Project Europe and to be at the forefront of creating a truly diverse and inclusive industry across European asset management.”

Bas NieuweWeme, Chief Executive, Aegon Asset Management

“Having benefitted from being an active and longstanding member of the Diversity Project UK, Franklin Templeton felt strongly, that we should be actively participating in the Diversity Project Europe at the outset, given our sizable European footprint. As a firm, we are passionate about progressing Diversity and Inclusion initiatives and want to be part of driving change within the financial services sector. This is the first initiative of its kind being rolled out pan Europe and we believe that there is an extraordinary opportunity to collaborate with like-minded peers with a view to creating positive change by increasing diversity and inclusion in our industry regionally. ”

Craig Blair, Managing Director, Board Member and Conducting Officer Luxembourg, Franklin Templeton

“With the creation of The Diversity Project Europe (DPE), the financial services industry has a fantastic opportunity to continue to lead the way in encouraging diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace, across all its dimensions.

Raymond Sagayam,  CIO Fixed Income, Pictet Asset Management

“It’s wonderful that the Diversity Project Europe is launching. Many of the issues holding back progress around diversity, equity and inclusion in the asset management industry are global in nature and we’re going to make much more progress working together. I’m looking forward to working with colleagues at the DPE to accelerate change and future proof the industry.”

Baroness Helena Morrissey, Chair The Diversity Project UK
