Sam Austin is Founder & Board Chair of IDAC (the Investment Diversity Advisory Council), an organization dedicated to increasing diversity of all types in the finance industry. Only 1.4% of U.S. Assets Under Management (AUM) is managed by diverse or female managers, and IDAC’s audacious goal is to double that within five years while also increasing the talent pool by 10,000 investment professionals from these underrepresented groups. IDAC brings together the five unique stakeholder groups together to co-develop actionable solutions, including allocators, consultants, diverse led managers, non-diverse led managers, and industry partners, believing that each group’s perspectives must be integrated in order to address this daunting challenge. IDAC is hosting its Global Summit on September 19th & 20th in Chicago with sponsorship from Goldman Sachs, BlackRock, Carlysle, NEPC, Invesco, and others.
