Investment consulting and fiduciary management firm Meketa Investment Group will hold its 14th emerging and diverse manager conference on April 24. Held semiannually and now held virtually, the public and private markets emerging and diverse manager research day seeks to connect Meketa with new and diverse managers.
To participate, an emerging firm must be majority owned by its employees and have assets under management of less than $2 billion. Firms cannot have had more than $5 billion in AUM and must have been in business for less than 10 years.
Meketa also categorizes as diverse managers those with majority ownership by women, minorities and people with disabilities. For managers in this category, there is no limit to AUM or tenure to participate in the conference.
During the virtual event, managers will be able to meet with Meketa consultants and present their firm and investment strategies to the consulting firm.
The firm’s last event, in October 2023, was also conducted virtually and featured more than 70 managers across domestic equities, global equities, fixed income, hedge funds, infrastructure, international equities, natural resources private debt, real estate and venture capital firms, according to Meketa.
The conference is one of several emerging manager conferences taking place this year. The New York State Common Retirement fund held an emerging manager conference on February 16, and the Employees Retirement System of Texas and the Teacher Retirement System of Texas will co-host an emerging manager conference on February 28.
