Kelly M. Williams, Senior Advisor, GCM Grosvenor, says the industry only gets better when there are more women involved. She also points to the various studies independently concluding that firms with more diverse decision-making teams tend to outperform others. Additionally, asset allocators are as likely as not to have a female on their team and having a potential connection point can be a competitive advantage.
