Valor’s Inclusion Premium Model
Valor’s Inclusion Premium philosophy helps our investors unlock the 30%+ premium returns historically delivered by diverse teams. Our philosophy is, Inclusion is a financial performance risk factor. Diverse management teams and boards are associated in numerous studies with 15-35% financial outperformance. Since inclusion is influenceable by investors, it is a critical fiduciary responsibility for private equity and venture capital fund managers. Valor processes accelerate and support inclusion at sourcing, at time of investment, and through investment management and disposition. Seed stage is the most dynamic and influential time to implement best practices around inclusion. This is where Valor invests.
