Some research suggests that companies with a high number of female managers and directors outperform the average market performance.
This led Nuissance Capital (a Swiss-based investment company) to initiate a “Womens Leadership Fund” – an Investment fund investing only in companies with a high number of women in leading positions.
Interesting approach that shows that equality is not all about “being nice to disadvantaged” but actually paying off financially! ;-) (though, the fund will have to prove to be a above-average performing one)
Want to invest? Or just know more? Have a look:

finally, after all these years of having heard of the benefits of having more women at work, someone is willing to make it a business proposition! Smart work from Naissance - fulfilling a social and a financila goal!! And if the fund does well, hopefully we can all save ourselves the many hours of building and debating the business case for women at work and put it into actually making the business work!
