The depth and breadth of female talent in Australia may surprise you.
The Australian funds management landscape continues to change - arguably for the better. And while male portfolio managers and analysts far outnumber their female peers, the industry is starting to wake up to the idea that the status quo isn't good enough.
After all, research has consistently shown that investments run by gender-diverse teams typically perform better. And if research on performance isn't enough to convince firms to hire (and promote) more women, investors themselves are starting to demand greater diversity from the funds that they invest in.
While a handful of female senior portfolio managers might come to mind, a breadth of talent within the industry has so far gone unrecognised.
Among those listed are some of our incredible colleagues.
