The Missing Billions: Analyzing the Impact of Women-Led Fund Managers

In partnership with Recast Capital, The Missing Billions: Analyzing the Impact of Women-Led Financial Managers analyzes the impact of capital deployment from female-led fund managers in venture capital. The report highlights the barriers these fund managers face and outlines tangible next steps to unlock more capital for them. Women are expected to collectively inherit around $30 trillion from the baby boomer generation within the next five years and are projected to control 75 percent of discretionary funding worldwide. If even a fraction of these dollars is invested in women entrepreneurs and other underrepresented minorities, this shift in funding could permanently change the financial services industry.
Nathan Jefferson, senior associate, Research, provided valuable research assistance for this report.
