In 2003, NAA reported approximately $500 Million of private equity capital being managed by American Latinos. By 2015, NAA estimated total institutional assets managed by Latino and diverse firms in its membership being close to $30 Billion. “While this signals to significant progress in the participation of Latinos in asset management, there is significant advancement to be made as we consider the over $40 Trillion U.S. pool of capital,” said Frank Herrera, NAA Chairman and Founder, The Herrera Law Firm.

“The NAA 15th Anniversary is a testament of our member’s passion build on American Latino success to forge a stronger America,” said Maria del Pilar Avila, CEO of the Alliance. “Since the inception of NAA, members have invested over $15 million and thousands of executive coaching hours to the organization.”
