Moving capital at scale to elevate communities of color with Valerie Red-Horse Mohl

Despite all efforts at diversity, equity and inclusion, little has meaningfully changed about how, where and to whom capital flows. Known Holdings is out to break the logjam once and for all. “Our goal is to shift capital through all of the ways of wealth creation” says Valerie Red-Horse Mohl, who cofounded Known in 2021 with Natalie Molina Niño, Jim Casselberry and Ushir Shah.  “We manage assets, we deploy assets, and we shift capital to focus on eliminating the racial wealth gap.” Known is the rare Black, Indigenous, Latina and Asian American-owned asset management firm. It has quietly attracted assets from impact investors looking to shift capital for greater impact. “We have big ambitions to really shift capital in significant ways,” Red-Horse Mohl tells ImpactAlpha’s David Bank on this week’s podcast.
