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 30, 2024. Meketa, 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 fifteenth semi-annual emerging and diverse manager research event hosted over the last eight years.

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. Meketa places no limit on AUM size or tenure in business for MWDBE firms in terms of qualifying to participate in this event.

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

Meketa’s last 2024 emerging and diverse manager research event, held in April, featured more than 60 managers, respectively, across domestic equities, global equities, fixed income, hedge funds, infrastructure, international equities, natural resources, private debt, private equity, real estate and venture capital. The participants included women-owned, minority-owned and public and private markets emerging managers.
