How Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Add Value to a Modern Financial Advisory Business

Written by Mike Langford | Sep 13, 2021

Intuitively, we know that a diverse, equitable, and inclusive team is smart business for any wealth management firm. As America's demographics change, so too should the makeup of the financial advisors who serve them. But, until recently it has been hard to quantify the true impact of DE&I efforts for RIAs and the independent financial advisor community.

 
In this episode of The Modern Financial Advisor Podcast, our guest Laura Gregg,  Senior Vice President, and Director of Practice Management & Advisor Research at Northern Trust’s FlexShares ETFs shares the results of the firm's 2021 report on Advisory Teams and Diversity Research. And what you'll hear is hard, objective data that supports expanding our community of advisors and firm leaders to reflect the rapidly diversifying community we hope to serve.
