Private Equity

Majority of women in PE still feel they are paid less than men in same roles

The representation of women in private equity has been an ongoing issue – women made up just 19.7% of alternative asset management employees in 2019, only slightly higher than 18.8% in 2018

Women in private equity still feel they are not being paid as much as their male counterparts, and not all firms are doing enough to address diversity issues, according to a new study.

Three in five women responding to investment bank Investec’s annual GP Trends survey said they felt they were paid less because of their gender. At partner level, 40% said they feel they would be paid more for doing the same job if they were male.
