Financial News published its inaugural Twenty Most Influential in Fund Management list this week, celebrating the leaders in the sector in Europe.
Among those featured are eight female executives, six of whom are overall heads of firms, and the other two are in charge of substantial business lines.
While the asset management industry falls short of the 50/50 mark, it is making better progress than other parts of the City. For example, FN's Twenty Most Influential in Crypto list, published in January, included just three women.
Here are the top women working in the asset management sector in Europe:
Valérie Baudson, chief executive, Amundi
Hortense Bioy, global director of sustainability research, Morningstar
Deborah Fuhr, founder and managing partner, ETFGI
Sylvia Pozezanac, CEO, Redington
Dame Anne Richards, chief executive, Fidelity International
Michelle Scrimgeour, CEO, Legal & General Investment Management
Jane Sloan, Emea head of iShares and index investments, BlackRock
Hanneke Smits, chief executive, BNY Mellon Investment Management
