Day #24: Larger number of women in investing roles

It is good to keep hearing positive news about gender equality in all fields. Some days ago I shared a post about an interview to women working in project management, and today it is the turn to say something about portfolio management. In this case, it is a study from Preqin which says that 23% of hedge fund investment team and portfolio management positions are held by women, compared to 6% two years earlier.

However, there are some bad (or neutral?) news as well. The highest growth in female-held positions was in investor relations and marketing, traditional areas for women. About 48% of marketing employees worldwide were women in 2019!
