Summary
Pensions & Investments reports that Clayton Jue, CEO of Leading Edge, a firm the publication describes as a pioneer among emerging managers, has said that DEI initiatives are "not focused on anything that resembles entitlement." The remark frames Jue's view of diversity efforts in institutional investing, where emerging and diverse managers seek access to allocator capital.

The source excerpt available for this story is brief and does not include Jue's full comments, supporting figures, or details on Leading Edge's assets under management, strategy, or client base. Readers seeking specifics on the interview should consult the full Pensions & Investments article.
