The Motley Fool's Latest Embrace of Firms Run by Women
Investment advice site recommends measuring women's share of top managers
- The Motley Fool, the Internet stock advice site, has both broadened and refined its earlier recommendation to examine companies on the basis of women’s influence.
- Motley Fool analyst Selena Maranjian reiterates Catalyst’s 2004 finding that companies with more women in upper management make more money, period and for shareholders.
- She then notes the small (if rising) number of women who are CEOs of major US companies, listing 6 of the 15 Fortune 500 companies run by women.
- Finally, she summarises the “58% gender gap in CEO earnings,” and implies that a better CEO at half the cost is good for your portfolio.
- “Armed with this knowledge, you may now want to keep an eye on the percentage of women you notice at or near the helm of companies that interest you. A high percentage may bode well for your portfolio.”
