Today the total immigrant population of the U.S. is over 40 million, representing about 14% of the total population. This figure does not include individuals who are second- or third-generation immigrants, who comprise closer to 37% of the total population. Many of these people come to the U.S. in search of greater economic opportunity for themselves and their families. They are taking on jobs, starting businesses, and building up their own wealth.
As a result, there are now many immigrants who wield significant wealth to influence markets and send remittances overseas. In 2015 alone over $133 billion was sent from the U.S., much of it targeted to countries in Latin America and South and Southeast Asia.
We work to engage people living in the U.S. who have strong roots here in the U.S. as well their country of heritage, and who are interested in investing to support their communities here and abroad.
