Engagement
Investing for the future, expanding opportunity, and giving back.
Serving our clients by delivering attractive risk-adjusted returns is our most important mission. That’s why we seek to optimize investment outcomes by managing risks and volatility, including those associated with environmental, governance, workforce, regulatory, and other factors. At the same time, we provide capital that helps companies create strong and resilient businesses that contribute to society in meaningful ways. Beyond our investment platform, we aim to build a diverse and inclusive workforce that makes the best decisions for our clients and create a positive impact in the communities where we live and work.

Identifying and assessing drivers of risk and opportunity is at the heart of our investment process. We believe that incorporating a thoughtful evaluation of environmental, workforce, regulatory, and other factors creates value for investors by allowing us to identify and mitigate risk and enhancing our ability to seize opportunities that drive long-term value. Given the rapidly evolving landscape, we sometimes work with industry groups and peers to help develop our own best practices for integrating these considerations into our investment framework in an effort to mitigate risk and enhance value for our investors.
A catalyst for opportunity
The HPS Center for Financial Excellence at Howard University
In collaboration with The Kapnick Foundation, we have established a multi-year partnership with the Howard University School of Business to create the HPS Center for Financial Excellence. The Center’s goal is to develop and prepare highly capable students to pursue careers in finance and enhance diversity across the industry.
Equity Alliance
We joined a group of esteemed investors and investment firms to establish the Equity Alliance. The Equity Alliance seeks to democratize access to capital and expand investment and partnership opportunities for emerging venture capital fund managers and startup founders who are people of color and women.
ILPA Diversity in Action Initiative
We are a founding signatory to the Institutional Limited Partners Association’s (“ILPA”) Diversity in Action Initiative, which brings together LPs and GPs who share a commitment to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion—both within their organization and across the investment management industry.
GIVING BACK
A culture of service
We strive to be a positive force in our communities—giving back where we do business, where we work, and where we live. We encourage our employees to do community service and aim to amplify their charitable giving through a matching gifts program.
