SAN JOSE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / March 9, 2023 / Cadence Design Systems, Inc., (NASDAQ:CDNS) announced that it is making a $50 million USD purpose-driven investment in an impact investment program managed by RBC Global Asset Management (RBC GAM) to address racial wealth inequities in affordable housing, homeownership and small business. In partnership with RBC GAM, Cadence will invest in an impact investment strategy that seeks to positively support underserved Black and Latinx individuals and communities nationally, including those in the San Francisco Bay Area, CA; Austin, TX; Columbia, MD; the New York Metropolitan Area; Boston and Burlington, MA; Research Triangle Park in Raleigh, NC; and Pittsburgh, PA-locations where Cadence has significant operations and a community presence. Additionally, a portion of Cadence's investment will be focused internationally on projects aimed at supporting women and people of color as well as climate justice initiatives.

"Fostering diversity, equity and inclusion is at the core of who we are as a company, and collaborating with RBC GAM to advance racial equity and community development was a very easy choice," said Dr. Anirudh Devgan, president and CEO of Cadence. "We are dedicated to making a difference and look forward to seeing the impact that our partnership will have on Black and Latinx communities across the United States as well as on the international initiatives focused on supporting women, people of color and climate justice."

"Following Black History Month, we're taking a proactive approach to address the racial income gaps and racial homeownership inequality that exist throughout the United States in commemoration of this important period of reflection," said KT Moore, vice president, Corporate Marketing at Cadence. "At Cadence, we are committed to supporting diversity and revitalizing communities where we operate and are proud to call home."

Cadence's investment will be allocated in RBC GAM's Access Capital Community Investing Strategy, which will invest in U.S. government-backed securities to support lending in historically underserved communities.
