Are Girls Not Cut Out To Manage Hedge Fund Money?
Hedge Funds, boys club…
Where are the girls? Is it skills, personality, or discrimination against her and her kids?
It's not when you buy. It's when you sell!not surprisingly, is the notion that you can’t run a hedge fund and raise children. “The demands are not compatible with family life,” says one former (female) analyst who joined a hedge fund. Investors put money into a hedge fund for one reason: the manager. So what happens, as one woman portfolio manager puts it, “if this person is hit by a bus?” She adds, “That’s a legitimate question. But people look at pregnant women or women with kids as if they’ve already been hit by a bus.”
