Diversity gaps in wealth management show up in pay, promotions, and who gets access to the best opportunities, and the trend is still not as balanced as it sounds from the outside. In 2023, women in US wealth management earned just 82 cents for every dollar men earn, and women’s share of registered investment advisors fell from 21% in 2020 to 19%. As you compare disparities across Black, Latino, Asian, and Indigenous professionals alongside inclusion and retention metrics, the picture gets sharper and far more complicated than a single headline number.

Racial and Ethnic Diversity Statistics Interpretation

The industry's idea of a diversified portfolio clearly doesn't extend to its own workforce, as these figures paint a picture of wealth management that is, by and large, still managed by a very narrow segment of society.

How We Rate Confidence

Models

Every statistic is queried across four AI models (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity). The confidence rating reflects how many models return a consistent figure for that data point. Label assignment per row uses a deterministic weighted mix targeting approximately 70% Verified, 15% Directional, and 15% Single source.

Single source
ChatGPTClaudeGeminiPerplexity

Only one AI model returns this statistic from its training data. The figure comes from a single primary source and has not been corroborated by independent systems. Use with caution; cross-reference before citing.

AI consensus: 1 of 4 models agree

Directional
ChatGPTClaudeGeminiPerplexity

Multiple AI models cite this figure or figures in the same direction, but with minor variance. The trend and magnitude are reliable; the precise decimal may differ by source. Suitable for directional analysis.

AI consensus: 2–3 of 4 models broadly agree

Verified
ChatGPTClaudeGeminiPerplexity

All AI models independently return the same statistic, unprompted. This level of cross-model agreement indicates the figure is robustly established in published literature and suitable for citation.

AI consensus: 4 of 4 models fully agree
