Founded on a mission to help those we serve deliver on creating a better world.
At DGV, we believe in the power of:
EMBRACING DIVERSITY
Diverse perspectives, backgrounds, and outlooks help us provide thoughtful and well-rounded investment decisions necessary to meet our clients’ needs.
ENCOURAGING ACCEPTANCE
Promoting a workplace grounded in respect for all persons is fundamental to who we are at DGV. We like to think of it as our North Star - the core value that informs our culture and how we operate in the world.
ENSURING ACCESS TO OPPORTUNITIES
We are passionate about creating opportunities that reduce inequality and allow everyone - no matter their race, religion, or sexual orientation - to find career success.
Making change starts by identifying the problem.
At DGV, we believe that we play a small part in bettering society by aligning with U.S. institutions directly serving the common good.
But after the events of 2020, we realized we needed to do more.
A global pandemic and social unrest brought to the forefront disparities in opportunity based factors unrelated to merit.
We have committed to create positive change by expanding opportunities via college scholarships, internships, counseling, and jobs.
OUR GOAL: Over time, develop a workforce that truly reflects society as a whole.
We strive to become part of the solution.
While talking about change is necessary, actions speak louder than words.
That’s why DGV has developed an action plan that:
Provides training to our employees to be more intentional in our actions and conscious of bias
Creates equal employment opportunities promoting the fair and equitable treatment of all persons without regard to race, ethnicity, age, gender identity, and sexual orientation
Commits time and resources to expand more diverse leadership within our firm
Fosters teamwork and employee participation, encouraging the representation of all groups and employee perspectives
Establishes a formal scholarship and internship program to provide opportunities and incentives to women and people of color to pursue STEM degrees and consider careers in finance and investing
Improves the well-being of our employees and investment outcomes through a better understanding of our mission to promote opportunity for people of merit regardless of background
