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 a Inclusive Capitalism "benchmark" of current industry standards around governance; and convening key stakeholders to ensure actionable steps are taken to improve industry hiring.

About the Milken Institute HBCU Program

The goal of our HBCU Strategic Initiative is to build the next generation of competitive and successful industry leaders to adjust the culture of the financial services industry, as it pertains to roles in asset management.

Results will be achieved when there is common knowledge in the industry of the existence of numerous, high-performing, diverse entry-level talent from HBCUs and when that talent is valued and seamlessly considered by Asset Management firms.

Entering the program as they start their sophomore year, fellows engage in rigorous academic program coursework and gain exclusive networking tools.

The combination of modular training and the development of industry acumen will equip these individuals to explore a future in asset management.

Upon graduation, alumni of the program are equipped with the knowledge, resources, and industry intelligence to succeed.
