Mandates dedicated to gender-lens investing have grown in just four years from $100 million to $2.4 billion globally, according to wealth management firm Veris Wealth Partners, with the number of strategies jumping from eight to 35.

From June 2017 to June 2018, more than $1 billion in assets was added.

“It’s been a year where we have had gender pay-gap revelations and sexual harassment scandals, but we’ve also had a great deal of positive momentum around capital being allocated to gender-lens strategies,” says Patricia Farrar-Rivas, CEO of Veris.
