Emerging and Diverse
What are emerging and diverse investments?
These are investment programs that seek to drive capital toward newer managers as well as funds that are female and/or minority-led. These strategies, which may be used together or individually, focus on:
- Emerging managers (primarily first-, second-, or third-time funds)
- Diverse managers (female and/or minority general partners)
- Underserved markets (funds that invest in companies that have historically lacked access to capital)

Our competitive advantage lies in our commitment to creating value for our partners, our vast network of industry relationships, and our expertise in the lower middle market.
Our emerging and diverse programs are managed by the former BAML Capital Access Funds team, which HarbourVest acquired in 2016.
