Diverse Manager Week at SURS
Diverse Manager Week is an opportunity for diversely-owned investment management firms with greater than 50% ownership by minorities, women, or people with a disability to present to the SURS investment team, its manager-of-manager partners, and its consultants. The goal of this event is to increase SURS asset allocation to MWDB firms both directly and through its manager-of-managers partners (for smaller, newer managers).
This year’s event will be Aug. 3-7 and will be held remotely via video conference. Each day will have a focus on a particular asset class:
| Date | Asset Class | Available Times |
|---|---|---|
| Monday, August 3, 2020 | Private Equity Strategies | All times have been filled. |
| Tuesday, August 4, 2020 | Public Equity Strategies | All times have been filled. |
| Wednesday, August 5, 2020 | Fixed Income Strategies | All times have been filled. |
| Thursday, August 6, 2020 | Current SURS Diverse Managers - All Asset Classes | All times have been filled. |
| Friday, August 7, 2020 | Real Assets | All times have been filled. |
If you wish the opportunity to present your firm and investment strategy, please email diversemanager@surs.org [1] with your preferred asset class day and two potential time slots. SURS staff will select firms that best fit the overall SURS portfolio needs. Firms selected will receive a confirmation for attendance with a date and time for their 50 minute presentation. Firms not selected will also be notified and an introductory conference call may be setup with the appropriate SURS investment officer. If you have any questions, please email Alex Ramos [2] or Kelly Valle [2].
