Meketa Investment Group (Meketa), a global investment consulting and fiduciary management (OCIO) firm, today announced its Public and Private Markets Emerging & Diverse Manager Research Day will take place on Wednesday, October 25, 2023. Meketa, which is highly experienced in working with such organizations, will host the event to further expand the firm’s professional relationships with emerging, minority-owned, women-owned and disabled-owned business enterprise (“MWDBE”) investment managers. This will be Meketa’s thirteenth emerging and diverse manager research event over the last seven years and the second utilizing a hybrid format.

Meketa defines emerging managers within public markets as firms with majority employee ownership and fewer than $2 billion in assets under management (“AUM”). Furthermore, firms must not have exceeded at any time the $5 billion level in AUM nor have been in business for more than 10 years. Within private markets, Meketa considers emerging managers to be those in the process of raising their first, second, or third fund. Meketa categorizes diverse managers as firms with majority ownership by women, minorities, and/or people with a disability. There is no limit on AUM size or tenure in business for MWDBE firms.

Each participating manager will choose to meet virtually or in person with a Meketa research associate, analyst or consultant to introduce their firm and investment strategies. Managers meeting the above criteria, with whom Meketa’s research team has not met in the past two years, are eligible to participate.

Meketa’s first 2023 emerging and diverse manager research event, held in April, featured more than 50 managers, respectively, across domestic equities, global equities, fixed income, hedge funds, infrastructure, international equities, natural resources, private debt, real estate and venture capital. The participants included women-owned, minority-owned and public and private markets emerging managers.
