Black-owned businesses are driving meaningful change in industries nationwide, bringing forward new ideas, stronger connections to community, and leadership rooted in lived experience. As the financial sector evolves, the value of diverse ownership and mission‑driven leadership is clearer than ever—resulting in better outcomes, broader access, and a more inclusive approach to investing and capital management.
At CAVU Securities, our identity as a veteran and black‑owned firm is core to who we are. We recognize that representation isn’t just about presence in the room—it’s about challenging the status quo, creating opportunities, and proving that integrity‑driven leadership delivers results.
The impact of diverse leadership is well documented. Research shows that companies led by executives from varied backgrounds often outperform peers, benefiting from innovation, stronger risk management, and deeper community trust. black business leadership is shaping key areas like institutional investing, capital markets, and sustainable finance—helping build a more resilient financial system.
Leaders like CAVU’s CEO Greg Parsons and Capital Markets Head Albert Kirton, both former Marine Corps Captains, bring service‑first mindsets that guide every client relationship and every decision. As Kirton notes, “You never know the impact you can have on a person, and you’re never going to forget the way someone made you feel.”
CAVU Securities is proud to stand as a certified MBE and a firm committed to mission‑driven impact. Through our Impact Pledge, we allocate 10% of our gross revenue from the CAVU money market share classes each year to organizations creating real, lasting change.
Our team, led in community engagement by Yanina Miller, prioritizes building genuine relationships with partners nationwide. “We don’t see community engagement as a side initiative—it’s core to our identity,” Miller explains.
As more black‑owned firms rise in finance, the industry will continue to benefit from broader perspectives and stronger community ties. At CAVU, we believe leadership doesn’t end when the uniform comes off—it evolves into a commitment to serve, invest, and lead with integrity every day.
We celebrate National Black Business Month with pride, and we remain dedicated to elevating representation and performance side by side.
