LONDON, Dec. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Recognizing social and racial inequalities that have been highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic and recent social justice movements, the private equity (PE) industry has set its sights on addressing diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) with urgency and commitment, according to EY report, "Can PE win deals if it doesn't deal with DEI?". Published in collaboration with the Institute for Private Capital a research center of the University of North Carolina's Kenan Institute and Kenan-Flagler Business School – with research analysis conducted by not-for-profit organization Level20, the report identifies DEI as an existential imperative and provides data, insights and tools to help inspire assessment and action.

Key Points: 
  • Sandra Krusch, EY Europe West Private Equity Leader, says:
    "The private equity industry must assess the legacy cultural characteristics and processes that have historically created de facto barriers for diverse talent.
  • Private capital has a ubiquitous presence in our global economy, giving the PE industry a distinctive opportunity to both address and improve DEI at scale, at both the organization and portfolio levels."
  • Challenges with diversity across finance have been well-documented, and the problem is particularly acute in PE and other alternative asset classes.
  • Pete Witte, EY Global Private Equity Lead Analyst, says:
    "Exclusivity has been one of the hallmarks of the PE industry since its establishment, which has unintentionally limited access for underrepresented groups.
