What is the gender balance in financial services?

Oliver Wyman's report on "Woman in Financial Services" shows that the representation of women was only 20% at Executive Committees and 23% at boards in 2019.

In the UK, the average pay gap in financial services rose to 23% in 2020, with a 38% pay gap in annual bonuses between men and women.

In private equity, women represent only 29% of entry-level positions, and less than 10% of senior investment positions. An IFC survey in 2019 found that 70% of investment teamsa are all male.

Although 67% of fund managers in one survey said achieving gender balance is important to their firm, less than 10% reported having strategies or targets in place for improving the promotion rate for femaile employees.

What is a Gender Equality Strategy?

A Gender Equality Strategy is a set of objectives and actions to make progress towards a gender-equal company culture and structure.

  • OAT(Ormiston Academies Trust) gap statistics, overall, and by seniority level, by department / job type, by country /office
  • Other relevant metrics: internal promotions, external hires, turnover rates

How to calculate median gender pay-gap?

The gender pay gap is calculated as the difference between average hourly earnings (excluding overtime) of men and women as a proportion of average hourly earnings (excluding overtime) of men's earnings.

In simple terms:
  • take the average female earnings per month across all female employess in the firm
  • divide by the average male earnings for all male employees
  • calculate the difference as a percentage
