Institutional Investor is pleased to announce Allocator Voices: Women in Investment Management, a celebration of distinguished women who are leaders and role models in their approach to their professional and personal lives.
Our mission is to foster a network of motivated and influential professionals who understand the unique position and associated challenges of being a woman in this industry.

It’s with great honor that we celebrate this movement of influential women who have the passion to leverage their voices to push the industry forward.
