Many firms have put significant effort into increasing the diversity of their boards and employees. Selecting diverse teams of professional advisors can be another important lever in bringing diverse perspectives to bear on key issues. The transparency and approach firms take when selecting diverse teams of professional advisors can accelerate this progress.
KPMG and FCLTGlobal conducted a joint survey of private equity (PE) stakeholders to determine how diversity, equity, inclusion (DEI) is being incorporated in the PE ecosystem. Survey findings indicated that an opportunity exists to make substantial progress on DEI within the private equity ecosystem, particularly when it comes to professional advisors. This is an area that is often overlooked.
