AAAIM Launches Research on AAPI Women in Financial Services
AAAIM is shedding light on the experiences of Asian American women in hiring, retention and promotion, and exploring topics of bias and discrimination in investment management for our latest research. Results and analysis of the survey will be published in the Summer, expanding upon our 2021 AAAIM report detailing the unconscious biases that stall AAPI advancement. The survey is sponsored by Backstop Solutions Group, whose mission is to help the institutional investment industry use time to its fullest potential.
Good Workers — Not Leaders: Unconscious Biases That Stall AAPI Advancement
For many Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, what some have called the “bamboo ceiling” is a daily obstacle. It manifests itself in regular microaggressions — co-workers who always confuse Asian Americans on staff because they “look alike” or a manager who expects an AAPI professional to play the role of “model minority,” stereotypically shy or demure.
