A new study by Professor Alex Edmans – commissioned by the Diversity Project – finds cognitive diversity can give investment teams a significant edge, but only if managed well.
The DPE and PwC Switzerland collaborated in the first of its kind strategic research. The report draws on the insights from 30 leading asset managers, with more than EUR 12.4 trillion in AUM.

The Diversity Project Europe (DPE), the first of its kind, is a cross-border and cross-company initiative championing a truly diverse, equitable and inclusive European asset management industry.
Our initial focus is on Europe's key asset management markets and three themes – gender equality, social mobility and inclusive culture – seeking to facilitate change through voluntary collaboration and knowledge sharing.
Together we believe there is a huge opportunity to move the dial and create an industry that better reflects both society at large, and their clients, ultimately securing a more sustainable future for our sector.
Our goal is to equip and enable the industry with the capabilities required to navigate the accelerating pace of change. A confluence of secular trends, including technological advancements, the rising prominence of ESG and CSR, evolving regulations, and the individualisation of savings, is set to transform the asset management landscape over the next decade. By embracing and integrating various aspects of diversity and fostering a more inclusive culture, the industry will be better positioned to harness these trends, drive meaningful change, and continue to thrive while serving its stakeholders effectively.
