Women in Alternative Assets

From Prequin. More women are working in the alternatives space than two years ago, specifically at private equity, venture capital, and hedge fund firms. Globally, the proportion of alternative assets employees that are female has grown to 19.7% from 18.8% in 2017.

Although this represents real gains, across all private capital and hedge fund industries, women are still underrepresented and there are significant variations in female representation across asset class, geography and seniority.

The data in this report has been compiled using Prequin’s database of over 200,000 industry professionals to highlight the trends in the workforces of active fund managers and investors.
