At first glance, U.S. equities seem to be turning a corner: They’ve rebounded from their February lows, bolstered by signs that China’s economy is stabilizing, dovish signals from the Federal Reserve, and a recovery in oil prices.

Looking forward, Credit Suisse believes that several challenges will lead to choppy market conditions for the remainder of the year.  ...

But this probably won’t: Research by Credit Suisse suggests that companies that choose to do so – whether subtly or overtly – are likely doing a disservice both to their business and to their shareholders. Over the past six years, companies that created welcoming environments for LGBT employees handily...
