Helping women in alternative investment connect, learn and advance their careers together
Women in Fund Finance was created in 2017 by the alternative industry association, the Fund Finance Association, to support diversity, equity and inclusion of women in banking, law, and private equity, credit, real estate and energy/infrastructure in and related to the fund finance community.
Led by three committees of senior women executives, Women in Fund Finance (WFF) is focused on the increased engagement, recognition and promotion of women leaders within the fund finance industry globally.
We seek to help women succeed in three ways:
connection, education and professional advocacy.
connection
Connecting with women interested in and working in the fund finance community through Women in Fund Finance networking and special events, as well as through the annual Fund Finance Association symposiums in Miami, London and Hong Kong.
Education
Creating a forum for women to learn about the fund finance and alternative investment, share expertise, experience and challenges and recognize and celebrate accomplishments. Women in Fund Finance aims to help women develop enhanced skills and market knowledge to empower them to enter, succeed and advance in their careers. Women in Fund Finance will also engage with other stakeholders in fund finance to promote diversity in the industry.
Professional advocacy
Women in Fund Finance aims to help the recruitment, retention and advancement of women in the fund finance industry through opportunities for sponsorship and advocacy, and to help increase opportunities for executive and board level positions.
