gender diversity in finance

Organised by S&P Global Sustainable1, the next free ‘Beyond ESG’ webinar, on 20 July (10am EDT/3pm BST), will focus on the impact of gender diversity on equity fund performance.

A more diverse workforce allows for broadened perspectives and better decision-making across the financial industry. In fact, gender diversity has recently been highlighted as a driver of portfolio performance. As companies advance their diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) journey, investors are increasingly looking to data surrounding diversity to inform their portfolios. 

S&P Sustainable1’s next Beyond ESG webinar will examine the impact that gender diversity has on equity fund performance. This includes:

  • The relationship between gender diversity and equity fund performance.
  • How investors are using data on gender diversity to analyse their portfolios.
  • The obstacles women face in the fund management profession.
