At least 41 companies in the mutual fund business are among the best employers for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer workers, and their families, according to a new list from the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), an organization that lays claim to being the country's biggest LGBTQ advocacy and political lobbying group.

The folks at the HRC Foundation recently released their list of the Best Places to Work for LGBTQ+ Equality 2022. The list recognizes 842 employers that earned a 100-percent rating in HRC's new Corporate Equality Index 2022. (1,271 employers, including 379 companies in the Fortune 500, actively participated in this year's survey.)

U.S. asset managers, or firms with U.S. asset management arms, that landed on HRC's 2022 list include: Abrdn, AllianceBernstein, AQR, Baird, BBH, BNY Mellon, BlackRock, BMO, Brown Advisory, Capital Group (home of American Funds), Charles Schwab, Credit Suisse, Franklin Templeton, Goldman Sachs, GMO, the Hartford, J.P. Morgan, Janus Henderson, John Hancock, Lord Abbett, Macquarie (home of Delaware Funds), Morgan Stanley, Morningstar, Nationwide, Neuberger Berman, New York Life, Northern Trust, Pimco, Principal, Prudential (parent of PGIM), Raymond James (parent of Carillon Tower), RBC, State Street (parent of SSGA), Sun Life (parent of MFS), T. Rowe Price, TIAA (parent of Nuveen), Transamerica, UBS, Vanguard, Voya, and William Blair.

HRC's 2022 list also includes at least 20 firms in the U.S. retirement plan recordkeeping business, as highlighted by 401kWire, MFWire's sister publication.
