Women in Investment Management Initiative
![woman-review-online-report](/-/media/images/cards/new-brand-people-at-work/woman-review-online-report.jpg?h=443&w=664&la=en&hash=44BD04C5A7FF2113271EA5D979AF28A4)
This initiative aims to improve investor outcomes by encouraging the increased representation of women in the investment management profession.
Why Women in Finance
- Women are a minority in investment management across global markets, making them the “universal diversifier”
- We believe an initial focus on the increased representation of women in investment will yield lessons applicable to other dimensions of diversity
Goals of the Initiative
- Increase the number of women who join the profession and earn the CFA® charter
- Retain women in the profession and influence culture from within
- Create demand for diversity as an industry imperative
