Aimed at promoting a more inclusive asset management industry, InvestmentNews parent Bonhill Group is holding its 2021 Women in Asset Management USA Awards on Sept. 9 virtually. It’s extended the deadline for submitting online nominations until June 11.
The awards will recognize role models, advocates and allies across the U.S. asset management industry, celebrating the accomplishments of individuals and firms that have championed diversity and responsible investment decisions.
The percentage of female fund managers has been hovering around 14% for the past 20 years and in the U.S., women represented just 11% of all portfolio managers at the end of 2020, according to Morningstar.
