Fast-paced. Exciting. Innovative. These are the ways that the women of global asset management describe their careers.

But while women have been breaking new ground across sectors for decades, they’re still under-represented in this part of the banking sector that encompasses financial products such as mutual funds and ETFs. And that comes at a loss to many.

There’s ample research showing that gender diversity in asset management yields better returns for investors. And for those who love the prospect of collaborating, problem-solving and helping people achieve their financial goals, overlooking global asset management also means missing out on an incredibly fulfilling and challenging career path.

BMO is at the forefront of helping women recognize these opportunities, collaborating with Canadian universities on events, networking opportunities and internships. But the best way to understand the potential is to hear about global asset management firsthand from women working in these exciting roles.
