Recently over Pride Month, Nuveen committed to partnering with the Albert Kennedy Trust (AKT) to support LGBTQ+ young people for at least the next three years. The partnership will see Nuveen provide an annual charitable contribution towards the Trust’s work with LGBTQ+ people aged 16-25 who are homeless, at risk of homelessness, or living in hostile environments around the UK. Melissa St Clair, Head of Inclusion, Diversity and Equity at Nuveen, said: “This partnership demonstrates Nuveen’s continued commitment to making an impact within the communities where we live and work. The latest partnership on behalf of Nuveen’s Alliance BRG, which has over 160 members across six countries, is the latest in a series of campaigns we have been running to support LGBTQ+ people around the world. “We have launched the contribution this month in honour of Pride Month, which is dedicated to the celebration of LGBTQ+ pride all around the world. It builds on our programme of international events which have included our participation in Pride marches around the world, bake sales, and internal talks educating our community on key issues faced by the LGBTQ+ community.” This is just another way our firm is supporting our commitment to inclusion, diversity and equity around the world.

Navigating today’s investment landscape has become tougher, as widening cracks in the economy present tripping hazards or cause investors to stray from their long-term path. Our latest outlook explores this and more.

Nuveen recently organised an office-wide Professional Qualifications Awareness Day in London, shining a spotlight on the #apprenticeship levy pathway and the myriad of development opportunities available. We are committed to employee growth, and we are thrilled to be able to offer this pathway, in addition to a number of internal developmental programmes. Here's to empowering our team and paving the way for their professional journeys! #EmployeeDevelopment #ProfessionalGrowth #CareerDevelopment

On 10th May, Nuveen Australia volunteered with IndigiGrow Nursery, a partner with Landcare Australia. IndigiGrow Nursery is a 100% Indigenous Australian owned, run, and staffed not-for-profit Australian native plant nursery, that encourages and educates the wider community on local endangered plant species and how they can help restore this important plant community. Landcare Australia is made up of partners such as IndigiGrow Nursery, and promotes efforts to build dioversity, and resilience in Australia's food and farming systems. The team had a very rewarding volunteer day with IndigiGrow, learning about the native species to the local Sydney area, including the critically endangered Eastern Suburbs Banksia Scrub, and their history to Indigenous Australians. Additionally, volunteers assisted with gardening and helping out in the nursery.

This Pride Month, Nuveen is proud to be an inclusive employer, weaving inclusivity into how we operate. Here’s our annual Pride Month message from our internal affinity group’s executive sponsor, Abigail Dean, Head of Strategic Insights in our London office. Happy Pride Month!

I’m proud to work for an organization that is committed to creating a more inclusive and equitable society for all. At Nuveen, we celebrate Juneteenth and the journey towards freedom and equality, while we stand in solidarity with those still facing challenges.
