About the Milken Institute

The Milken Institute is a globally minded, publicly supported, non-partisan, and nonprofit think tank headquartered in Santa Monica, with offices in Washington, DC, New York, London, Abu Dhabi, and Singapore.

For the past three decades, the Milken Institute has served as a catalyst for practical, scalable solutions to global challenges by connecting human, financial, and educational resources to those who need them.

Guided by a conviction that the best ideas, under-resourced, cannot succeed, we conduct research and analysis and convene top experts, innovators, and influencers from different backgrounds and competing viewpoints.

We leverage this expertise and insight to construct programs and policy initiatives.

These activities are designed to help people build meaningful lives, in which they can experience health and well-being, pursue effective education and gainful employment, and access the resources required to create ever-expanding opportunities for themselves and their broader communities.

About the Inclusive Capitalism Program

The Milken Institute's Inclusive Capitalism (ICAP) is housed within the Institute's MI Finance pillar, which conducts research and constructs programs designed to facilitate the smooth and efficient operation of financial markets and institutions—to help ensure that they are fair and available to those who need them when they need them.

ICAP seeks to create long-term value that benefits all stakeholders, including businesses, investors, employees, customers, governments, and communities; produce equitable, measurable, and sustainable growth that empowers others while addressing many of society's needs; and enable stakeholders to participate in the capital markets to support both the end beneficiary and the bottom line.

One key feature of the ICAP Program is our focus on democratizing asset management, where we engage in a series of activities, such as: researching metrics and processes for tracking industry activities, outputs, and outcomes; exploring an Inclusive Capitalism "benchmark" of current industry standards around governance; and convening key stakeholders to ensure actionable steps are taken to improve industry hiring.
