Summary List PlacementThe financial-services industry has a reputation for lacking diversity that it's trying to improve. Following the death of George Floyd last summer and subsequent global protests, financial-services companies, like many of their corporate peers, launched initiatives to diversify their workforces and pledged support to underrepresented communities. A year later, firms — from asset managers to private-equity investors — are still racing to show they're serious about broadening opportunities for minorities and women seeking to work in the financial-services industry.
