Gender strategies in investing

Gender diversity and inclusion has been growing as an area of investor concern and interest over the last decade with the rise of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investments, where the risks and opportunities of stronger diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are well-evidenced. Allied with the incorporation of more gender considerations into ESG analysis in public and private markets is the consolidation and growth of gender lens investing (GLI) as a strategy and a field. This report aims to shine a light on why and how European investment firms are incorporating gender considerations into investing, as well as how the field can accelerate progress.
