Diversity Project - Investment Industry
Financial Services
Accelerating progress towards an inclusive culture in the investment and savings profession.
About us
The purpose of the Diversity Project is to accelerate progress towards an inclusive culture in the investment and savings profession. An inclusive culture across all levels supports more effective teamwork, gives wider perspectives, better investment decisions, better results for our clients and ultimately more sustainable businesses. The Project spans the whole range of the profession: asset owners, fund managers, fund selectors, pension consultants, actuaries, trustees, wealth managers and the professional standards and trade bodies. We believe that recognisable and measurable progress can be achieved over the Project’s five year timeframe. We aim to achieve diversity across all dimensions, including gender, ethnicity, socio-economic background, LGBTI+, age and disability. Metrics to assess progress will be published following an analysis of the industry’s existing position across these dimensions. Contact us at info@diversityproject.com to find out more about this project, or if you would like to get involved.

We have collated the main insurers’ current menopause provisions - following on from our #MenopauseUnmuted event on World Menopause last year, where among other topics we had an insurers panel. We want everyone to know what is and is not included to ensure you can make informed choices. Whilst insurers have improved what they offer, it is now up to employers to implement these policies. Some choose to pay the additional fee for these policies as they are not included as part of the standard policy.

I may give you physical symptoms. I may give you mental health challenges. You might have trouble sleeping, and even experience muscle and joint pains. Heightened anxiety, more frequent headaches or migraines, even palpitations—these might all be signs of something happening in your body. You might also be reacting to foods and drinks differently than before. I can cause bloating, weight gain, and changes to your body shape. Dry skin? That could be me, too. Even your hair might feel dry and brittle because of me. Can you figure out what I am? Write your guess in the comments! Monique King #WhatWorks #WhatAmI
