NIA IMPACT SOLUTIONS FUND - NIA Impact Funds

Engagement Grade: Gender Equality

This fund earns an engagement grade for gender equality. This means the fund is recognized as a leader in advancing equity and justice through active shareholder engagement, community and stakeholder engagement, and fostering impact. The fund’s managers use their influence as investors to press portfolio companies to strengthen workplace equity, disclose meaningful diversity data, and adopt policies that promote inclusion. In addition to direct dialogue and proxy voting, the fund integrates these social justice considerations into its investment process — avoiding or divesting from companies that consistently lag on DEI performance or fail to respond to investor concerns.
