A growing number of women are opening, or have recently opened, hedge funds around the world, according to a report by Bloomberg. And two of these funds could each start with $1 billion or more under management. “It is a watershed moment to have multiple female-led hedge fund launches,” opines Dominique Mielle, former partner and portfolio manager at Canyon Capital.
The report states that women have built enough relationships and earned enough money to start their own companies. Also, investors now believe that diversity in money management strengthens performance as well as society. “More investors are recognizing that day-to-day investing is about decision-making, and the science is very clear that more diverse teams make better decisions,” explains Rob Manilla, vice president and chief investment officer at the Kresge Foundation.
