ABOUT AAAIM
Founded in 2006, AAAIM’s mission is to provide greater access and leadership mobility for Asian Americans in the world of investment management. Challenged with a lack of diverse leadership in the field, AAAIM advocates with institutional investors to hire qualified minority and women investment professionals and select minority owned fund managers. The organization’s goal is to help Asian Americans break through this ceiling and establish a successful pipeline for AAPIs to grow into the next generation of leaders that reflect a more inclusive economic society.
