The Pathway Programme

We have opened applications to companies for 2024!

The Diversity Project Pathway programme is a world leading programme that focuses on developing the female Portfolio Managers of the future. It has been created by the industry for the industry.

The initiative seeks to drive real change by unlocking female talent in order to address the absence of women in money-managing roles, with 88% of positions currently occupied by men.

This bespoke programme gives talented women who are selected by their companies the best opportunity to progress and succeed in becoming Portfolio Managers.

The fee for a DP Member Company is £2.5k per candidate. The fee for a non DP Member Company is £5k per candidate.

Quotes

"This programme has the potential to be revolutionary for the asset management industry. Not only will it unlock hidden talent from across the industry and provide today’s emerging female portfolio managers with the skills and confidence they need to succeed, it will also create a cohort of female portfolio managers who will navigate their careers together and provide an example for generations to follow. We’re delighted that over 30 firms are involved in Pathway first year and believe that this programme may finally solve the decades-old problem of too few female fund managers."

Baroness Helena Morrissey, Chair of the Diversity Project

"It has been eye-opening and has made me even more thirsty to pursue a role in portfolio management"

"If they can do it, I can do it."

"The programme encourages us to think about our careers from a three to five year point of view, be aware of opportunities and really be in the driving seat.” "

"I have been able to meet like-minded participants and inspiring portfolio managers who have generously shared their own experiences and personal journeys."
