From the Chicago Booth Review March 10, 2021 By John T. Oxtoby & Leah Yablonka John Oxtoby and Leah Yablonka, employees at Ariel Investments who have been teaching a non-credit mini-course at Harris on Environmental, Social, & Governance and Impact Investing this quarter, were featured in the Chicago Booth Review discussing how economic inequality—particularly the wealth gap between Black and white Americans—poses a major threat to US corporations. "Bolstered by the events of 2020, there is increasing momentum in the investor community to emphasize the management of diversity-related risks and opportunities as a business imperative. Investors, as well as corporate leaders, need to understand that the risks presented by the racial wealth gap affect companies in both systemic and acute ways."
