About the Event


In 2022, the NJ Division of Investment initiated a new investment program called the Emerging Managers Platform to increase and enhance the Division’s ability to access smaller, up-and-coming investment managers – including women-owned & minority-owned investment management firms.

Join Governor Murphy, State Treasurer Muoio, SIC Chair Raj, and other interested parties – including general partners, limited partners, and other public pension plans – to connect and learn more about New Jersey’s Emerging Managers Platform.
