Diversification is a core principle of investing. Yet money
managers have not applied it to their own ranks. Only around 10
percent of portfolio managers-the people most directly responsible
for investing your money-are female, and the numbers are even worse
at the ownership level. What are the causes of this
underrepresentation, and what are its consequences-including for
firms' and clients' bottom lines? In Undiversified, experienced
practitioners Ellen Carr and Katrina Dudley examine the lack of
women in investment management and propose solutions to improve the
imbalance. They explore the barriers that subtly but effectively
discourage women from entering and staying in the industry at each
point in the pipeline. At the entry level, the lack of visible role
models discourages students from considering the field, and those
who do embark on an investment management career face many
obstacles to retention and promotion. Carr and Dudley highlight the
importance of informal knowledge about how to navigate career
tracks, without which women are left at a disadvantage in an
industry that lionizes confidence. They showcase a diverse
constellation of successful female portfolio managers to demystify
the profession. Drawing on wide-ranging research, interviews with
prospective, current, and former industry practitioners, and the
authors' own experiences, Undiversified makes a compelling case
that increasing the number of women could help transform active
investment management at a time when it is under threat from
passive strategies and technological innovation.
