Inclusion & Diversity.Inclusion&Diversity.

QMA has a long-standing commitment to inclusion and diversity in the workplace. Since 1975, we have fostered an engaging environment that rewards intellectual and cultural diversity. We seek employees from a variety of backgrounds and cultures.

A Long-Term Commitment

Collaborative Culture

QMA follows a formal approach to attract, develop and retain diverse talent. Diversity programs are leveraged across, and supported by, the entire PGIM organization.

Inclusive Workforce

We welcome employees of all races, creeds, color national origin, nationality, ancestry, age, sex, familial or marital status, gender identity or expression.

Client Benefits

Research shows that diverse groups make more sound decisions. Put simply, there is alpha in diversity. Our firm-wide culture of respect for individual backgrounds and thought processes strengthens our investment decisions. 

I finally realized that the change in society I was hoping for needed to start with me. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I could not be happier to be a part of a company that holds such high standards on diversity and inclusion.
