Welcome to FIASI
05/19/2021 | Underrepresentation of Women Investment Managers
Join FIASI when we host a Q&A with portfolio managers Ellen Carr and Katrina Dudley on the underrepresentation of women in the investment management industry, the reasons for this lack of gender diversification, and some tangible recommendations for improving gender parity in the all-important $100+ trillion industry that plays a central role in allocating capital.
Diversification is portfolio management 101--yet when it comes to its own ranks, the investment management (IM) industry is not adequately diversified, as only ~ 10% of portfolio managers are women.
Authors of the upcoming book:
pdf Undiversified: The Big Gender Short in Investment Management (360 KB)
- Ellen Carr, Fixed Income Portfolio Manager, Weaver Barksdale
- Katrina Dudley, Senior Vice President, Investment Strategist and Portfolio Manager, Franklin Templeton Investments.
The Q&A will be conducted by Bob Kricheff, Senior VP and Global Strategist, Shenkman Capital Management.
The authors will cover the psycho-cultural barriers leading to a dearth of female investors across all asset classes. By analyzing the Investment Managers flywheel and understanding the barriers to recruitment, retention and promotion of women, the authors issue a challenge to IM firms, their employees, allocators and influencers with tangible and actionable steps they can take to achieve gender parity in the industry.
