On Thursday, March 16, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, in partnership with CapEQ and PolicyLink, hosted a virtual event exploring how financial institutions can become more inclusive. This event was held as part of the New York Fed Community Development team’s work connecting underserved communities and investors. Participants discussed the forthcoming “Investor Blueprint for Racial and Economic Equity,” a new framework for how investors can strengthen governance and culture, reevaluate perspectives on risk, and address inequality and economic instability.
