On our investment team, over 80% belong to a minority group and over 60% is women. Having built and retained this team is a reflection of our commitment and success on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI).

Nipun is committed to encouraging diversity, equity, and inclusion among our workforce (which include Nipun partners, employees and consultants, agents, representatives, contractors, and contract workers when they act on behalf of the firm.) We believe that fostering diversity and inclusiveness is a competitive differentiator enabling us to create value for our customers, colleagues, business partners, and shareholders.
