What Association of Asian American Investment Managers does
Mission
Founded in the Year 2006, the Association of Asian American Investment Managers AAAIM is a national trade association dedicated to the advance of AAPIs Asian Americans & Pacific-Islanders in the asset management industry. AAAIM supports those trying to access top positions at major investment firms while also promoting an entrepreneurial route for investment managers that start their own firms. AAAIM is committed to providing an association that creates an educational forum for sharing expertise within the AAPI investment community to build a pipeline of next generation leaders by encouraging more AAPI students to enter the field and to serve as a catalyst for strategic relationships between AAPI managers and institutional investors.

AAAIM?s Externship is an intensive 7-day hybrid program in the summer, offering externs an experiential learning opportunity. The externship accepts a small group of up to 30 undergraduate college students, selected through an application-based process. Externs will engage in professional development training focusing on resume building, interviewing techniques, and relationship building, while interacting with investment and finance professionals, heads of Human Resources and Talent, and industry veterans. At the end of the externship, AAAIM facilitated mentorship connections and shares potential industry opportunities for externs. This program is open to all undergraduate students to apply, with a special emphasis on supporting students coming from modest income families or non-target institutions. In 2024, we had 24 universities and colleges…
Research and Education) Since our initial study in 2020 with Bella Private Markets, AAAIM continues to expand its research efforts to bring awareness of the barriers faced by AAPI professionals in the investment management industry. Our 2024 research introduced two groundbreaking reports: The State of AAPIs in Venture Capital and Opportunities for AAPI Emerging Managers in Institutional Investment. Through these two reports, we build upon previous findings and examining further the representation at each stage of ones career across the investment management industry. The State of AAPIs in Venture Capital study, in partnership with UC Berkeley Sutardja Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology (SCET) and DECODE, explored the representation and experiences of Asian American professionals in the Venture Capital industry, bringing to light the disparities and underrepresentation in leadership, funding access, and career progression. Some revelations from our research include a low, single-digit percentage of representation ? only 3.3% of VC funds are AAPI owned and that the path to promotion and becoming an investing partner takes 41% longer (AAPI professionals worked in junior roles…
Emerging Leaders Initiative) AAAIM?s Emerging Leaders Initiative (ELI) program was created to help Asian American Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) break the ?Bamboo Ceiling? in the investment field. In 2024, we established ELI Day, a professional development and career-focused event bringing together mid-level professionals. With very few organizations focused on career development and formal leadership workshops for AAPIs throughout the full life cycle of their professional journey, AAAIM created this opportunity of support for upward mobility of AAPIs and other underrepresented communities. In addition to ELI Day, AAAIM continues into its fifth year of the Norman Mineta Cohort program. This program is designed for mid-level professionals on both the east and west coast, and provides them a development curriculum free of charge. Throughout this program, the cohort receives quarterly professional development workshops, ongoing executive coaching, mentorship from senior leaders and board of directors, education, and elevated visibility among our network through complimentary access to our events.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $1.8M to $2.2M (+24%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
