Who we are

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Vision

At Investcorp, we believe that diversity leads to better outcomes for everyone, from our investors and our investment partners to our employees and our recruits. We are committed to promoting a more inclusive environment for people of all races, genders, religions, sexual orientations, ethnicities, and nationalities. Today, our global firm is comprised of 50 nationalities among our more than 480 employees. A diverse and inclusive workforce will make us better investors and help reinforce our unique culture and talent.

Strategy

Diverse teams bring diverse perspectives that enhance value for our employees, investors and partners. To achieve our objective of adding greater diversity across our Firm, portfolio companies, and the asset management industry, our strategy focuses on three core areas: People, Policy and Practice. This includes diverse recruitment; initiatives to support employee belonging, health & well-being; expanded DEI training; and regularly reporting on our progress.

Since 1982, DEI was at the heart of Investcorp’s foundation. Today, approximately 500 employees from 45 nationalities uphold this culture

DEI Pillars

People
Our primary goal is not only to attract individuals of different backgrounds & experiences, but also to provide them an opportunity to feel safe, grow and feel a sense of belonging within Investcorp. A values-grounded and diverse set of talent helps us become better leaders for tomorrow. Through an open, inclusive, and diverse culture, we are able to bridge gaps through mutual understanding, transparency, and dialogue.

Policy
We are creating and evolving industry-competitive policies that support our employees’ well-being with healthcare, wellness, and flexibility. More comprehensive and clearer policy makes us more accountable to our goals over the long-term and creates a healthier culture.

Practice
Employees undergo all types of training – teamwork, leadership, communication, networking, and DEI inclusion – on an annual basis. Workshops are held internally to strengthen awareness and inform better DEI tactics. Expanding an employee’s skillsets will aid their career growth.

Employee Resource Groups

IWill

Established in 2021, IWill is Investcorp’s female focused affinity group which brings together women to collaborate, innovate and exchange ideas and experiences across our global offices. We host monthly meetings in each office and quarterly on a global scale. IWill seeks to provide career development opportunities, mentorship, guest speakers and more.

GEN-I

GEN-I aims to empower and uplift our young professionals, enabling them to explore avenues for both professional and personal growth. This group will provide a supportive network, collaborative opportunities, and essential resources to help them unlock their full potential.

  1. Supportive Network: Fostering collaboration and building meaningful connections.
  2. Essential Resources: Equipping members with workshops, mentors, and industry expertise.
  3. Amplified Voices: Encouraging diverse perspectives and enriching the company culture.

Inspire

The Investcorp Inspire Mentorship program was launched in January 2023 to allow our global employees to network globally, to develop as emerging leaders, and promote diversity of thought. The mentor and mentees are matched based on interests and are ideally located in different geographies and lines of business.

Memberships & Affiliations

As part of our DEI journey, we value partnering with organizations that not only focus on Diversity, but also on a shared view of equality, inclusion and belonging. Our partners are an extension of our pillars and with them we collectively continue to make a positive impact in this space.
