In the wake of the murder of George Floyd in May 2020, the 50 largest US public companies pledged nearly US$50 billion to address racial inequality, more than 90% of which was allocated as loans or investments into Black institutions and communities. 
 
However, in the first year since corporate pledges to address racial inequality were made, 37 companies confirmed disbursing only US$1.7B of the US$50B pledged. 
 
We do not think this is an anomaly. 
 
Despite the political will, availability of public/philanthropic funding, and best intentions of private programs to promote investment, there is no inevitability to the flow of capital to opportunities in underserved markets. Two unique characteristics of underserved markets prevent programs and policies from reaching their objectives: high transaction costs and deep information asymmetries.
