The Trailblazing Women in Investment
WHAT WOULD THE WORLD LOOK LIKE IF MORE WOMEN CONTROLLED THE MONEY?
Fiona McKay, author of the report introduces her findings.
Research suggests that with a greater balance of female investors we will reach an equitable and more lucrative world.
But the upper echelons of the investment sector are an elite space to be, and for women, it is even more elite.
Did you know women make up just a tenth of all senior positions? Furthermore, globally women occupy only 8% of senior investment roles.

“Lightbulb delivered essential leadership topics into our business language to a select number of our managers and global leaders. Great personal service.”

Managing Director and Head of HR UK, UniCredit
Despite the small number of women occupying this space, those who are making it there are having a significant impact:
Women can spot a growth market: Female-led sectors such as FemTech, where the founders and investors are predominantly women, is forecast to be worth $50bn by 2025.
Women deliver higher margins: Listed firms, where at least one-third of its senior team, have been found to have profit margins 10 times greater than those without (Pipeline, 2020).
Women are aligned behind ESG: ESG and impact investing is predicted to surge as consumers and investors increasingly hold companies accountable for their performance on ESG benchmarks. This market is currently 60% weighted towards women.
The challenge of boosting the numbers of women engaged is not insurmountable, and there is hope.
There are sectors where female investors are beginning to make serious inroads. And within Lightbulb Leadership’s investment network across the UK and US, we have identified the trailblazers that are helping to forge a female investment future.

“Time and again research reveals that an increase in the number of women in investment roles would in fact be transformative for both the economy and society as a whole.
So, it is essential in a post-pandemic world, that we challenge and strive for more women to be controlling the money.”
