Morningstar recently published a new study analyzing the presence of women in the global financial marketplace. The study revealed that it was more likely that a woman would be running a passively-managed fund or fund of funds, and women were also more likely to be a member of a team of managers as opposed to single-handedly helming a fund by themselves.
The study went on to say that women who hold more credentials than men are also under-represented in the industry, even though women are more likely to hold the Chartered Financial Analyst designation than men. Another study conducted in 2014 showed that while men have a tendency to brag about the results they generated from their fund management, women tend to estimate their results on the low side.
