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 AM, we are committed to fostering an inclusive culture where people can learn, grow and perform at their best. We recognize that diverse perspectives, experiences, skills and backgrounds are key to drive innovation and making stronger, more informed decisions. As a proud founding member of Diversity Project Europe, we value how it complements our existing partnerships with Diversity Project UK and North America - enabling us to take a consistent global approach while respecting local contexts to create meaningful change across the industry.”

Trudy Stassen, Global General Counsel & Chief Compliance Officer, 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. Already being on the Steering Committee of The Diversity Project UK and promoting DEI activities, Pictet Asset Management is delighted to now be a founding member of the DPE and support achieving that same objective in Europe.”

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

“As the founding member of the Diversity Project Europe in Germany, we hope to use our role as a driving force to convince other financial industry players in Germany to join this great initiative.

Nigel Cresswell, CEO at Quoniam Asset Management and Diversity Project Europe Advisory Council member
