Private equity: the bottom line benefits from gender diversity

In partnership with MVISION, private equity research sponsors, the Private Equity Observatory at HEC Paris investigated the relationship between gender diversity and performance in the mature private equity markets of Europe and North America. The data set was 2,454 deals executed by 51 fund managers across 220 funds over 20 years. Based on these deals, the study made informed assumptions about the gender composition of investment committees using the data available.
