Opalesque Industry Update - The Hedge Fund Journal today announced the publication of
the 50 Leading Women in Hedge Funds 2011. The survey, conducted by The Hedge Fund
Journal and sponsored by Ernst & Young LLP, identifies 50 female hedge fund
industry leaders based on data and opinions gathered from interviews with industry
experts, both men and women, based in Asia, the US and Europe. Key criteria for
selection included the level of responsibility, either through managing money or a
business (or both).
In early 2010 just 3% of global hedge fund assets of $1.5 trillion were estimated
to be managed by women. Today The Hedge Fund Journal estimates that members of 50
Leading Women in Hedge Funds 2011 alonehave responsibility for over $200 billion
or 10% of industry assets.
“As a leading global provider of services to the hedge fund industry, Ernst &
Young is proud to sponsor this report, and we applaud the women selected as
leaders in the industry,” said Art Tully, Partner, Financial Services and Global
Hedge Fund Practice Co-leader, Ernst & Young LLP. “For over 25 years, Ernst &
Young has helped many firms develop from start-ups to become some of the largest
global players. As the hedge fund industry evolves and expands, we look forward to
continuing to support firms’ evolving needs through our extensive portfolio of
services.”
“The 50 Leading Women in Hedge Funds 2011 survey is not exhaustive but it
definitely shows the role of women in hedge funds is expanding,” said Bill
McIntosh, Editor of The Hedge Fund Journal. “This is an industry that is
innovative and changing rapidly, in short, an ideal environment for talented women
to tap new opportunities.”
Michael Serota, Partner, Financial Services and Global Hedge Fund Practice
Co-leader - Tax, Ernst & Young LLP said, "Ernst & Young is committed to promoting
women’s leadership and success. We congratulate the women that made the list this
year, and we look forward to working with them and their colleagues for many years
to come.”
