"We are grateful to these incredible leaders in helping the Collective accelerate our progress."

Advisory Board member Elaina Spilove shared, "During my 35+ years in the investment consulting business, too often I found myself to be the only woman in the room. The Collective's mission and purpose not only provides a clear goal to get more women and people of color into the business but provides solid strategies to see tangible change. The time to do the right thing and move the needle is now."

In May, the Collective launched a public dashboard and transparency brief examining data from 400 of the largest active, public equity funds. In the coming months, the Collective will debut new data that applies an intersectional lens on race and ethnicity in addition to gender.
