City Hive’s Post

Today, City Hive celebrates the 2nd Birthday of the ACT Standard. City Hive launched ACT - the corporate culture standard for investment companies - in May 2022 to capture the essence of an investment management company’s ‘heart and soul’ and provide professional investors with a framework to assess, measure and be a catalyst for change. Check out our video to view progress so far and our ambitious targets for the future: https://lnkd.in/dKJQ4sB7 #InvestorsACT

At Preqin and Colmore, we are proud to acknowledge and support our colleagues observing Ramadan this month. Through understanding and respect, we look to create a safe environment that allows them to celebrate their beliefs in the way that they choose. Here are just a few thoughts from our colleagues: “It feels wonderful to be part of a company where they recognise that this month is tough, particularly with fasting, and where they allow me to adjust my day to day to be able to celebrate my faith.” “I feel fortunate to work somewhere that acknowledges that I will be fasting and provides facilities such as reflection rooms in both Preqin & Colmore’s offices. Managers are aware of the physical toll of fasting and are accommodating with flexibility in working hours.” “As someone from an interfaith background, celebrating Ramadan with my partner holds deep meaning. It's a journey of spiritual growth and shared traditions that strengthen our bond. Ramadan teaches patience, empathy, and gratitude, enriching our connection to each other and our faiths. Preqin and Colmore's support reflects a commitment to inclusivity, fostering an environment where diverse religious practices are respected and accommodated.” “For Preqin and Colmore to acknowledge the importance of this month is really special to me. It shows me that they respect my beliefs - fasting within the workplace as well as flexibility in working from home gives me that balance to achieve my personal journey. Having awareness from colleagues, especially those higher up in management, allows me to feel recognised and that means a lot.” If you would like to learn more about how we support our teams and communities, you can read more on the Corporate Social Responsibility page here: https://okt.to/gfGPmL #Ramadan

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of talking at Futures Friends in London. The 333 format is three trends in three slides in three minutes, which was a challenge as I LOVE to share allllll the data points. I've put together a version of what I shared yesterday, below.

"Barely a third of junior employees said they knew their company’s current valuation. Companies need to focus on employee education." This thought-provoking data point comes from Ledgy's State of Equity and Ownership 2024. Every year we interview executives at private companies across 10 markets in the US and Europe to get insights on their outlook on equity, fundraising, IPOs, hiring, and more. This year over 2,500 companies responded and the results are fascinating. Every Friday I'll be sharing a new data point, so stay tuned! In the meanwhile, I'd love to get your thoughts: Do you know your company's valuation? Are you motivated by it?
