US SIF Member Webinar: Investing to Advance Women
Date(s):
May 6, 2020
Time: 3:00 PM EST - 4:00 PM EST
In the last several years, a growing number of investment firms have created products across asset classes which focus on women’s socioeconomic advancement. In addition to considering standard financial metrics, these investment managers are approaching the investment process with a “gender lens”--incorporating specific criteria into the investment process with the goal of improving gender equality, such as access to capital and policies that promote equal pay and work/life balance.
Panelists will discuss the evolution of gender lens investing and what they are hearing from their investors and other stakeholders. Panelists will also address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the economic crisis on their investment strategies. Time will be allocated for Q&A between attendees and panelists.
