/in /by

H-65

DEFINITION:

Number of female Investment Committee members who are counted as voting members of the investment committee of a Debt or Equity investment Fund or other Financial Intermediary as of the end of the reporting period.

GUIDANCE:

This metric is intended to capture the size of the female representation on the investment committee of a financial intermediary or a general partner of a debt or equity fund.  Practitioners will need to collect Number of Investment Committee members to get a percentage.

Note:

  • Practitioners should avoid double-counting women who fill multiple roles within an organization by not aggregating HIPSO's Number of Investment Committee members who are Female with Female Direct Jobs Supported in the Intermediary
  • Practitioners may refer to specific gender benchmarks and application guidance as needed, such as those specified by the 2X Challenge (2xchallenge.org).

Applicability: Fund investment where possible and relevant, not intermediated finance.

Related indicators: This indicator is a subset of the parent indicator Number of Investment Committee Members.
