Undiversified: The Big Gender Short in Investment Management

Ellen Carr and Katrina Dudley explore the pressing issue of gender disparity in the investment management industry. Their insightful narrative delves into how the financial sector has largely overlooked the potential benefits of diversity within its ranks, particularly in leadership roles. By examining the systemic barriers that have perpetuated this imbalance, the authors reveal a gap that not only affects equity and inclusion but also impedes broader economic growth.

Through a combination of data analysis and personal stories, the book highlights the importance of incorporating varied perspectives in financial decision-making. Carr and Dudley argue that addressing the gender shortfall is not only a matter of fairness but also a critical strategy for fostering innovation and improving investment outcomes. Their compelling case invites readers to reconsider the current landscape and envision a more equitable future for investment management.
