Gender - and a broader equity and diversity approach - is relevant across the capital continuum, and in all asset classes. Join this working session to level up gender lens investing throughout the investment lifecycle, regardless of their starting point or sophistication, and ensure that lessons learned are continuously incorporated into portfolio management. Those newer to the field will leave with a solid grasp of what's achievable, while existing practitioners will understand how to refine their practice in partnership with peers.
