Diversity and Equality: Longer Term Investments

From UBS. Over the last decade, social diversity and economic inequalities have come to the fore as social and political flash points in advanced economies and beyond. They are stoking public calls for change and presenting disruption and opportunities alike to the global economy.

In this long-term investment theme, UBS analysts focus on applying a diversity lens to investing in public equities, one that homes in on the impact of diversity on the economic labor force and the corporate workplace. While gender lens investing has been a core pillar of sustainable investing for the last decade, our understanding of social inequalities and the intersection of gender with other forms of diversity is a more recent development.
