Creative Investment a Signatory to New Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Code

WASHINGTON - March 22, 2022 - PRLog -- As noted in their announcement

"The CFA Institute, the global association of investment professionals, today announces that 15 organizations have become signatories to the newly launched voluntary Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Code for the Investment Profession in the United States and Canada ("DEI Code"). The organizations, first in the industry to adopt the DEI Code since its February launch, together represent some US$ 4 trillion in Assets under Advisement, more than US$2.5 trillion in Assets under Management, and leadership in the industry."

As we stated in the announcement,

"We know from research that strong diversity performance correlates with strong financial performance. At Creative Investment Research, we're pleased to be among the first organizations to sign the DEI Code for the investment profession, enabling many more organizations to deliver the benefits of diversity, equity and inclusion not only to employees, but ultimately to everyday investors too."

Our 2006 Diversity Fund research showed that a portfolio constructed with diversity as one of the key stock selection factors resulted in significant outperformance, generating 11.35 percent returns over the one-year period ending July 25, 2006, compared to 5.02 percent for the S&P 500.

We are reminded of lyrics in the song "All Eyes On Me" by American musician TuPac Shakur, when he stated:  "Where you goin'? I been there, came back, it's lonely, homie.."

With the addition of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Code for the Investment
Profession created by the premier global investment industry organization, it's not so lonely anymore.
