To grow opportunities in black and brown communities, significant long-term investments are necessary. In November 2020, the REEFS project team began conducting a comprehensive analysis to develop the REEFS TPA Toolkit that identifies relevant investment impact and activation opportunities integrating racial equity as an explicit criterion across asset classes.
This paper offers a synopsis of the evolution from community development and ESG investing to the emergence of investing explicitly with a racial equity lens, proposes a definition for racial equity investing, and presents emerging opportunities across asset classes for investors.
More information about the paper can be found here:
Today, the investment community must be collaborators willing to invest transformative capital in communities of color — both to address historical wrongs and seize future opportunities — that bank on the full potential of all citizens in this nation. This series showcases investable opportunities across asset classes.
Since the events of 2020, our nation has arrived at a crossroads. To create a more equitable future for all Americans, our nation must address our history ridden with racial inequities that have unleveled the playing field.
To grow opportunities in Black and Brown communities, significant long-term investments are necessary.
