Fireside chat with Amanda Pullinger, CEO of 100 Women in Hedge Funds

The British Chamber of Commerce presented a fireside chat with Amanda Pullinger, CEO of 100 Women in Hedge Funds, as part of its Inspirational Women series. The discussion was moderated by Michelle Paisley, TWF Honorary Treasurer, and speakers touched on Hong Kong’s importance in the global hedge fund industry and the opportunities and challenges for women in hedge funds.

Amanda and Michelle presented their views on why women account for less than 10% of the 8000 hedge fund managers in the United States.

Amanda told the audience that we need more role models to educate girls about the range of roles in hedge funds, and she encouraged young women to be brave and take risks in their career because “you are stronger than you seem, braver than you believe and smarter than you think.”
