It will take two centuries for female fund managers to achieve equal status to their male counterparts at the current rate of promotion, according to research by Citywire.
The pace of women taking on fund manager roles was “grindingly slow,” with just 1,762 females among the world’s 16,018 active fund managers, according to the report. That’s around 11%, compared with just over 10% four years ago, the research shows.
