The investment industry may be “less of an old boys’ network” than some people perceive from the outside but challenges remain for LGBTQ individuals in terms of truly opening up and being themselves.
In the second episode of PA Pod devoted to LGBT+ in Pride month, host Natalie Kenway, editor-in-chief at MA Financial Media, is joined by Jake Hague, supplier sustainability and governance manager at Aviva Investors, and LGIM’s Andrzej Pioch, fund manager in the multi-index team at Legal & General Investment Management (LGIM).
