NAA believes that increasing American Latino access and control of capital will result in more equitable involvement of our community in managing and channeling resources and capital to address the most pressing issues facing our community and our nation, including education and wealth creation.

Latino and diverse firms have made extraordinary strides over the last decade expanding existing firms, opening new firms and returning capital to their investors to support the security of public employees and retirees across the nation. During the NAA 15th Annual Wall Street Summit at Pension Fund Diversity Day, the New America Alliance highlighted the capital represented among the NAA Membership and recognized 10 NAA Member firms in the NAA Billion Dollar Circle.

We also highlighted the following: 

NAA membership of diverse and emerging asset management firms
have over $60 Billion aggregate assets under management.

NAA diverse asset managers (with 25+% diverse ownership)
represent almost $45 Billion of aggregate assets under management.

NAA Latino asset managers in private equity represent over
$10 Billion in aggregate assets under management, as compared to
under $500 Million reported in the NAA White Paper in 2003 - that is progress.
