NEWARK, N.J., Oct. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Blueprint Capital
Advisors CEO & Co-Founder Jacob
Walthour, Jr. has been named to ROI NJ's People of Color
Influencers for 2021. This is his second consecutive year
being named to the list which highlights New Jersey's most influential people bringing
diverse perspectives to New Jersey
and its business community.
According to ROI NJ, "From his perch atop the state's largest
Black-owned asset management firm, Blueprint Capital, Walthour has
been relentless in advocating for equitable opportunities for
minority businesses and people of color in the investment
business."
Earlier this year the publication named Jacob to its Power List
in Banking and Finance mentioning that he "Co-founded what has
grown into one of the nation's largest Black-managed financial
advisory firms and, from the platform, is tireless in promoting the
need for more diversity in finance — including suing Gov.
Phil Murphy's administration for not
opening the state's investment arm to more firms of color."
Blueprint has filed the largest discrimination case in the
State's history against Governor Phil
Murphy, Treasurer Elizabeth
Muoio and the New Jersey State Division of
Investment. This case has highlighted the discriminatory
practices of the Division of Investment and the disparate treatment
Black-owned firms have received under Murphy and previous
administrations.
