Reviews
The lack of gender diversity in asset management may be the biggest threat to the future of capitalism -- Carr and Dudley explain why and what to do about it. -- L.J. Rittenhouse, author of <i>Investing Between the Lines</i> and inventor of Candor AnalyticsTM Carr and Dudley have written an enormously important and timely book that will have substantial value-added for both investment management and women's accomplishments. Their contribution should be required reading not only for aspiring young women interested in a career in investment management, while they are in high school, undergraduate and graduate programs, but also throughout their careers. I highly recommend this book for mutual fund directors, business school faculty, and business students alike. -- Edward I. Altman, Max L. Heine Professor Emeritus, NYU Stern School of Business, and Director, Franklin Mutual Series Fund In this timely, specific, and actionable book, two fabulously successful practitioners demystify investment management and show why it is a excellent career for women. The field of investment management should be more diverse. The industry needs women to survive and thrive. -- Tom Anderson, Founder & CEO of Anasova and author of four books including <i>New York Times</i> & <i>USA Today</i> best-seller <i>The Value of Debt</i> This book is the best I've read on the troubling issue of gender diversity in the investment world. In my forty-year career, I've worked with many women who are extraordinarily gifted. Why aren't there more of them in the investment world? This book powerfully addresses and answers the question. A must-read for investment professionals or anyone interested in career fairness. -- Jim Ware, CFA, one-time analyst and PM, author of six investment books, founder of the Focus Consulting Group Despite the continuing dearth of female asset managers, I still hear people proclaim that the pipeline isn't the problem. Carr and Dudley's book highlights surveys of undergraduate and MBA-level women that give critical insight into the ongoing struggle to build a robust female investment management talent pipeline and, more importantly, offers suggestion on how to help. -- Meredith A. Jones, author of <i>Women of The Street: Why Female Money Managers Generate Higher Returns (And How You Can Too)</i> Even the best investment management firms are struggling to fill more than 20% of their investment roles with women. This book provides a clear diagnosis of the problem and actionable solutions-written by portfolio managers, not outsiders. This book is a valuable resource for women in investment management, those considering the profession, and investment firms seeking to both attract and retain more women. -- Jenny Johnson, President & Chief Executive Officer, Franklin Resources, Inc. (Franklin Templeton) Today, all forms of inequality are being scrutinized. The underrepresentation of women in investment management isn't in the headlines, but it's something many of us in the profession want to change. How can we make progress in this regard? Undiversified by Ellen Carr and Katrina Dudley is the authoritative source on the subject and a great place to start. -- Howard Marks, cofounder and cochairman, Oaktree Capital Management
