Everyone debates whether DEI adds value โ€” or dilutes focus.
The data offers a clearer view.

Diversity at the leadership level correlates with measurable business outcomes across several studies:

 โ†’ MSCI found companies in the top quartile for executive gender diversity are 45% more likely to report higher ROE than those in the bottom quartile.
โ†’ BCG reported that startups founded or co-founded by women generate 10% more cumulative revenue over five years โ€” despite raising less than half the capital.
โ†’ PwCโ€™s U.S. Family Business Survey showed that gender-diverse leadership teams exhibit stronger succession planning and long-term governance discipline.

The takeaway isnโ€™t ideological โ€” itโ€™s structural.
Leadership diversity appears to strengthen judgment, improve capital efficiency, and enhance continuity.

At Eagle Talon, we look at it through an investor lens: if diversity drives more resilient decision-making, it belongs in the investment model.
