“For shareholders and owners of companies, the report Gender Diversity Matters by UBS pointed out that gender-diverse companies – those with women in at least 20% of senior leadership positions – were more profitable than their less gender-diverse peers. The same study also showed that from 2011 to 2017, a UBS gender-focused portfolio of companies beat the MSCI World Index by an average of 1.6% a year. While this does not necessarily imply causation, gender diversity is to us a proxy of well-run companies with good corporate governance.”
