Social Mobility Community
The Social Mobility Community helps member firms widen access to talent and create environments where people can grow, perform and stay. By improving opportunity, progression and development, organisations strengthen their talent pipeline and long-term business performance.
Inclusion is experienced through opportunity, growth and feedback. People stay where they can grow.

Social Mobility is one of IiFE’s three practitioner communities. It strengthens talent pipelines and supports the conditions for cognitive diversity by broadening access to opportunity, growth and experience across member firms.

Research
The Social Mobility Community is connected to IiFE’s research on social mobility in European asset management. The research helps organisations understand where opportunities can be expanded, how progression can be strengthened and how wider talent pipelines contribute to stronger organisational performance.
By turning evidence into actionable guidance, the research supports the industry in moving from awareness to implementation.
