PANEL DISCUSSION & EXHIBITION

On February 21, 2019 Neuberger-Berman invited artists Malik Roberts, Corey Wash, Damien Davis, and Helen Evans Ramsaran, along with Allison Barker (founder, ABXY Gallery) and Ivy Jones (founder, Welancora Gallery) to participate in a panel on diversity, equity and inclusion in the arts at their global headquarters in midtown Manhattan. In the weeks that followed, the wealth management firm held an exhibition of works by these artists as well as those of Zeehan Wazed, Melvin “Grave” Guzman and Vernon O’Meally in celebration of Black History Month. The firm acquired works by Malik Roberts and Corey Wash, which are now permanently included in Neuberger-Berman’s Diversity Collection.

The Art of Investment

When founder Roy Neuberger started collecting art in 1939, he bought pieces that spoke to him. “I buy because I love the work,” he said. The fact that many of his favorite artists—like Jackson Pollock, Edward Hopper and especially Milton Avery—went on to become household names is a testament to his unique insight. In art, as in investment, Roy didn’t follow the market—the market followed him.

At the firm he founded in that same year of 1939, we try to live up to those principles. We value experience but have an eye for innovation. Our culture is strong; our teams are independent. Company fundamentals and client objectives are what drive us, not the noise of the markets. That is the art of investing, the art of partnership, the art of service.
