WOMEN'S EXECUTIVE FUND

A specialized investment vehicle promoting the participation of women in the decision-making bodies of
companies

Recent studies lead by reputed consultants, companies, or universities -Catalyst, McKinsey- have constantly
shown that companies with a higher percentage of women in boards or senior management perform better
than the average.

"Newly public companies that have women in senior management enjoy higher initial public offering prices and higher earnings
per share than companies that have all-made management teams."

Professor Theresa Welbourne of University of Michigan Business School – July 1999 ‘The study suggests that
the companies where women are most strongly represented at board or top-management level are also the
companies that perform best.’
Women Matter, “Gender diversity, a corporate performance drive”, McKinsey study report 2007.

Gender diversity (women/men) within management leads to performance ‘Women and girls aren’t the
problem; they are the solution’, Nicholas D. Kristof, The New York Times, August 23, 2009
