Allstate Investments, LGIM America, William
Blair removes barriers and establishes diverse jobs pipeline with
new Asset Management Diversity Accelerator (AMDA) program
To purposefully increase diversity, remove barriers, and
establish a new pipeline of talent in the asset management
industry, Allstate Investments, LGIM America, and William Blair
Investment Management created the Asset Management Diversity
Accelerator (AMDA), a two-year rotational development program for
diverse and under-represented job seekers.
AMDA gives recruits deep industry experience, helps build their
professional networks, and pays a competitive salary with benefits.
The cohort will spend two years as junior research associates,
rotating through each of the three Chicago-based firms every eight
months. In their roles, participants will offer fresh perspective
as they learn and work directly within the firms’ buy-side equity,
fixed income research teams and portfolio managers.
Recruiting is underway, focusing on students expected to
graduate from Historically Black Colleges and Universities in
December 2022 or May 2023. AMDA is also expanding the applicant
pool by emphasizing opportunities with majors typically outside of
the asset management industry. Participants will be informed of
their selection in December of this year and will begin employment
in June 2023.
Leaders from the partner firms shared the following perspective
on the value the AMDA program will bring to candidates and the
industry alike: –
John Dugenske, CFA, President, Investments and Financial
Products, Allstate Investments:
“Inclusive diversity and equity have long been core values of
Allstate that represent who we are and how we conduct ourselves as
employees, leaders, decision-makers, and members of society.
Building upon our long-standing relationship with Historically
Black Colleges and Universities, the AMDA program will further
attract diverse talent to our employment and entrepreneur career
opportunities. We are committed to elevating diverse voices in
investment roles at Allstate and industry-wide.”
Aaron Meder, CFA, Chief Executive Officer, LGIM
America:
“Addressing our industry's biggest challenges, while delivering
our business for future generations, will take new ideas,
innovation, phenomenal teamwork, and relentless focus. Success can
only be achieved if we’re respectfully and inclusively
collaborating, while continually embracing diversity of thought and
experience. By partnering in the AMDA program, LGIM America is
proud to deliver world-class asset management experience to people
of historically underrepresented backgrounds, while continuing our
commitment to deliver exceptional client service.”
Stephanie Braming, CFA, Partner and Global Head of Investment
Management, William Blair:
“The power of diverse teams can’t be overstated. Human capital
is our industry’s biggest asset, with our research analysts
specifically playing a critical role in the development of
comprehensive investment strategies for our clients. That’s why we
need the best and the brightest talent to join us. And the best and
the brightest span many different backgrounds with many different
lived experiences that influence their professional acumen.”
