HFR Women-managed Funds 2000-2009

Submitted by vivhdem on Tue, 05/17/2011 - 9:56am

Chicago-based, Hedge Fund Research Inc., the premier source for data in the hedge fund sector, tracked the progress of women-managed funds from 2000 to May 2009. They found that, since inception, women-owned funds have delivered an average annual return of 9.06% compared with only 5.82% among a broader composite of hedge funds. Not only do women-owned funds consistently report stronger returns, they have also fared better in the financial crisis. HFR found that during the downturn last year, women-owned funds went down 9.61% while all other funds dropped 19.03%.

*By Kate Meyer

Last week Valerie Jarrett, Senior Advisor to President Obama and Chair of the White House Council on Women and Girls, and Preeta Bansal, General Counsel and Senior Policy Advisor in the U.S. Office of Management and Budget, hosted a White House Webchat to highlight findings from the recently released report Women in America: Indicators of Social and Economic Well-Being. Here at NCRW we were thrilled to see Jarrett and Bansal advocating for the same policies and programs that are on our agenda.

Building a Pipeline to Women’s Leadership

Female students have now surpassed their male peers in high school and college graduation rates. Yet across sectors, women’s representation in professional leadership roles has stalled at 15-17%. If women make up the majority of students earning Bachelor’s, Master’s and Doctoral degrees why are there so few women in top management positions? Further aggravating women’s uneven progress, the disparity is often most pronounced in the most lucrative fields, especially STEM, economics, and finance.

Our Opportunity for International Women’s Day

Submitted by Kyla Bender-Baird on Tue, 03/08/2011 - 5:13pm

By Tiffany Dufu*

I took the helm at The White House Project at an interesting moment for women. Last week’s report from the White House, which Kate Meyer mentioned in yesterday’s post, coupled with a political, economic and social environment that is best described as extremely volatile across the globe, demonstrates how, on this International Women’s Day 2011, we are presented with a unique opportunity. 

We have the opportunity to be responsible.
