What’s inside?

We’ve analysed a series of funds across five key markets to track their performance across ranges from one month to five years. The report shows the correlation between performance and the gender of the fund managers.

The report also includes expert commentary from Katja Bergman, general partner and co-founder at BRIGHTLY Ventures. She discusses how women strive to empower other females within the industry, as 'women tend to recruit or put forward more female candidates to board positions and senior-level management positions.’

Bergman also shares advice she’d give to young women looking to get involved in the finance industry, as well as what she believes is the best recipe for success in this industry.
