Gender Lens Investing: Uncovering Opportunities for Growth, Returns, and Impact delves into the intersection of gender and investment. Co-authored by Jackie VanderBrug, Managing Director, and Joseph Quinlan, Managing Director and Chief Market Strategist, from U.S. Trust, Bank of America Private Wealth Management, this pioneering book is the first to comprehensively examine the advantages of integrating gender perspectives into investment analysis.

Highlighting the significant role women play in today’s global economy as successful entrepreneurs, corporate executives, and family breadwinners, Gender Lens Investing reveals that despite progress, issues such as gender-based violence, the absence of women’s legal rights, and the persistent wage gap persist. These realities create a unique and underexplored opportunity for investors.

The authors explore why gender is crucial to economic prosperity and investment performance, offering readers insights into how to use a gender lens to assess products, companies, and sectors. They also delve into positive social forces supported by a gender perspective on investment choices and examine profitable and gratifying gender lens investment strategies.
