After a decades-long career in investing, University of Rochester Senior Investment Officer Rob Rahbari knew statistics like these. So in 2020, when the university\u2019s president challenged every university department to recommit to diversity, equity and inclusion, Rob and his teammates developed an open-source list of funds owned and managed by women and people of color to share with other endowments and foundations. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t mean anything until dollars start moving in the direction of these diverse firms. We haven\u2019t seen a sea change there yet, and we\u2019ll only be satisfied when that happens.\u201d  Moving investment dollars is challenging and will likely be a slow process. Rob hopes his team\u2019s list is just the first step.  ","author_name":"Money Checkup with Anjali Jariwala","author_url":"http:\/\/moneycheckup.libsyn.com\/website","html":"
