Following the success of the inaugural Women in Asset Management Awards last year, the event will be returning to New York on September 10th, 2020 – and nominations are now open! The second edition of the event is set to be bigger and better, with the arrival of the Women in Asset Management Summit that will take place during the day, ahead of the award ceremony.

It’s reported that only 6% of Chief Investment Officers of the largest US money managers are women, and just 16% of executive and senior-level positions are held by females; statistics that are startlingly low given the evidence supporting the positive impacts of gender diversity. It’s fundamental to changing these statistics that visibility of female talent in the sector is increased, inspiring more young women to consider careers in asset management.

The Women in Asset Management Summit & Awards Series aims to redress gender balance by providing a platform for female professionals, and industry employers, to come together and benefit from thought-exchange, knowledge sharing and recognition of the remarkable women in the field. Through learning opportunities at the one-day summit and the celebration of inspirational leaders at the awards, we are committed to building a community and increasing the opportunities for women at all levels, across all job functions.

We invite you to join us at the event, hosted by Information Age and DiversityQ, and help shape a future underpinned by inclusivity and opportunity for all.
