Girls Who Invest Celebrates International Women's Day
Girls Who Invest (GWI), a non-profit organization dedicated to
increasing the number of women in portfolio management and executive
leadership in the asset management industry, is thrilled to observe
International Women's Day. Studies show that gender diversity leads to
various positive outcomes including higher returns on investment.1
Girls Who Invest encourages diversity across multiple angles including
gender, ethnic heritage, socioeconomic status and different types of
backgrounds such as schools, majors, interests and geography.
This year's International Women's Day theme of "Balance for Better" is
illustrated through a video of GWI Scholars who achieve personal balance
through hobbies and talents beyond academia. Through their distinct
perspectives and multi-faceted passions, they add balance and diversity
integral to the asset management industry. To view the video, click

Recent Girls Who Invest milestones include:
-
Expanding our flagship 10-week Summer Intensive Program to reach 340
scholars since 2016 with over 80% of past scholars pursuing careers in
investment management
-
Continuing our focus on multiple aspects of diversity, our 2019 summer
program cohort represents 62 universities with 50 distinct
undergraduate majors, 23% are from public schools, 23% identify as
economically disadvantaged and 20% are underrepresented minorities
-
Growing the GWI Online Learners program in partnership with Executive
Education at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and
the CFA Institute to reach a greater pool of diverse talent
"Girls Who Invest is working to improve gender balance in the asset
management industry and executive ranks of finance. We've recruited
talented undergraduates for our 2019 summer intensive program from
colleges and universities spanning from Washington State to Florida who
will bring diverse perspectives and talents in order to optimize returns
and increase shared prosperity." - Janet Cowell, CEO
In addition to celebrating our GWI Scholars on International Women's Day
2019, Girls Who Invest celebrates our partners. These firms have played
a vital role in supporting our mission and have championed progress
towards a more inclusive and diverse workforce. Since 2016, the number
of internship partners has nearly quadrupled to about 100 organizations.

About Girls Who Invest
Girls Who Invest is a non-profit organization founded in April 2015
dedicated to inspiring and empowering young women to pursue investment
careers in the asset management industry-a field challenged by a lack of
diversity. We are committed to changing this imbalance. Our goal is to
see 30% of the world's investable capital managed by women by 2030. Our
approach is practical: create a pipeline of talented, motivated young
women through an intensive educational program, a meaningful paid
internship experience and a robust ongoing community. For more
information, visit www.girlswhoinvest.org.
