Planted In Diversity And Inclusion
We believe that diversity and inclusion are related to our success and the goal of serving all clients with love and integrity.
Stronger Through Diversity
Nupello was founded on the belief that the investment industry needs to be inclusive - that more people from Main Street should be able to enjoy the same benefits as Wall Street. That spirit of inclusiveness has been a guiding force ever since, and we are committed to building and maintaining a culture that values and reflects the potential of all work. We know that through diversity, we gain a wide range of ideas and information, which underpins our business strategy through Through Clients ’Eyes.
To make these ideas come true, we have developed a system that has four key pillars:
Workforce diversity
We focus on attracting diverse talented people by maintaining a strong employer brand and expanding where and how we meet potential prospective employees. We employ disadvantaged communities, including women, people of color, people with disabilities and people with a military background, among others.
Inclusive workplace
Our business is designed to help people manage their financial future, and the same applies to our people. We invest in our employees and their future by building a culture of support, teamwork, flexibility and balance.
Ongoing development
Robust benefits
Modern workspaces
Veteran support
Serving diverse needs
As the U.S. very diverse, the financial services industry is increasingly looking for new skills to meet the needs of different clients. We believe diversity and inclusion are part of our success as a firm, our unique culture and our mission to serve all clients with love and integrity.
Creating intentional communities through ERGs
Our Human Resource Services (HRGs) are staffed and provide support, leadership, development opportunities, and communication with our diverse staff. Our HRGs are made up of employees who share features or life experiences and are committed to improving diversity and inclusion in the Nupello.
Opportunities to learn and grow
We encourage our people to invest their money and get involved in long-term professional development, so we recoup the cost of authorized business-related education and training. And that’s why we offer informal advice from managers and partners to help people get on-the-job training and support.
Client Representation
Gaining your trust
Working for your goals
When we say we are invested in our customers, it is more than just a clever formula. That is what we are based on. We believe that investing has the power to change lives.
That is why we are actively involved in regulatory and legal matters that directly affect clients' ability to achieve their investment goals or our ability to serve our customers with love and integrity.
Client Representation
We know that a great opportunity for change lies at the policy level. The Nupello Office of Legal and Administrative Affairs supports the development of responsible policies designed to help people achieve their financial dreams.
As facilitators, we train lawmakers, regulators, and senior branch officials at the international, state, regional, and local levels. We provide an informed opinion on legal policy proposals affecting investors. We also educate our employees and clients about the important role they can play in the public policy process.
Why Do We Not Take sides in Politics?
The American people are surprisingly politically divided. On any given day, one can see experts on television, in magazines, in newspapers or on the Internet engaging in a variety of growing conversations related to a variety of political, economic, and social issues. The media itself is increasingly focused on gaining viewers or reading by recruiting one side of the debate or the other - or by pursuing drama and conflict by losing the dissemination of diverse ideas in the right way. The result is that dialogue on these topics is often reduced to a single set of words that contradict past words with little hope of agreement or compromise. It is a frustrating story, but it has been around for years and it is likely to end in an instant.Gaining your trust
Our decisions have a profound impact on the financial services industry as a whole. The trust we gain in our customers and in the community is based on enhancing our integrity and legitimacy. We are committed to the highest standards of ethics.
We take our responsibility to our shareholders seriously. Nupello has one general voting share, and each share is entitled to one vote at shareholders' meetings. Shareholders can vote by post, telephone, online, or in person.
Our unique culture and approach have been recognized regionally and nationally
In 2020, Nupello was selected as one of the FORTUNE Top 50 ‘World’s Most Responsible Companies ®’. Nupello is ranked # 2 overall in the Securities and Asset Management category, with # 1 innovation in Key Dignity Features.
Civic 50 is a company that focuses on society
Since 2017, Points of Light has seen Nupello as one of the 50 American public-focused companies. The award recognizes the extent to which Nupello uses resources in public consultation, directs community service and key business activities, supports the community with organizational policies, and measures the social and business impacts of community programs.
The HRC Foundation is a leading platform for working for LGBTQ equality
Since 2004, Nupello has obtained a 100% rating from the Human Rights Campaign Foundation's Corporate Equality Index, which recognizes companies based on LGBTQ equality.
Serving Our Communities
In many ways, 2020 has shown how broad the concept of society is. From the COVID-19 epidemic to natural disasters and racial and gender inequalities, the call for service is stronger than ever. In 2019, we launched NUP Gives Back, a comprehensive platform for all volunteer, gift-making and grant-making activities. We want NUP staff to have more time to connect with the community and help the community. That's why we plan integrated service opportunities and offer paid overtime benefits through our Service Day plan.
NUP Community: Service As A Call
Involving Our Staff

Civil unrest and riots in the US and elsewhere have intensified the need for progress. At NUP, we recognize the importance of diversity, ideas and backgrounds, and are committed to the power of change. We take — and examine — many actions to combat racial injustice and inequality.
These efforts include advancing the recruitment, development and retention of diverse talents, and ensuring that different leaders are on the path to senior decision-making roles. We are re-evaluating the company's generosity and promoting diversity and adherence to ethical and human rights standards among our suppliers. As investors, we work to influence positive change that leads to better financial results for our customers.

NUP collaborates with nonprofits including Girls Who Invest, Year Up, Cristo Rey Network, INROADS, and Investment 20/20, and has developed the NUP Sophomore Summer Leadership Program to help recruit young, less represented talent.
