“Morgan Stanley’s Sustainable + Responsible Investment (SRI) and Global Quantitative Research teams took a crack at it. They collected and analyzed data from around the world, and created a proprietary gender-diversity framework for ranking more than 1,600 stocks globally. Their conclusion: more gender diverse companies offer similar return with lower volatility.
In other words: More gender diversity, particularly in corporate settings, can translate to increased productivity, greater innovation, better decision-making, and higher employee retention and satisfaction.”
