Abstract

Merely 1 in 10 C-level positions in the asset management and broader finance industry are filled by women. This statistic doesn't just apply to the very top of the corporate ladder: women make up 14% of all fund managers and 18% of total employees in private equity. Women on Wall Street, in the investment management industry, and the international finance industry often face an increased unique structural challenge as the industry typically thrives on, and rewards, traits that are associated with men. From New York to Beijing, Lily Jin used her investment career experiences, resources, and influence to pave the way for women in the broader finance and asset management industry by founding a community and mutual assistance platform called HerValue. The sole mission of HerValue is to advance women's representation and development in the broader finance and asset management industry in China. She has been joined by the 2021 HerValue working group and HerValue's management team in 2022 to actively build the community and achieve its mission.
