Is gender diversity an alpha signal – with Joanna Nash

In this week’s episode, brought to you by Realindex Investments, we discuss how a single issue like gender diversity can be used as an alpha signal as well as a qualitative measure of company risk and opportunity. We speak with Realindex Investments senior quantitative portfolio manager Dr Joanna Nash on how the systematic equities manager integrates ESG into their quantitative process and how the issue of gender diversity in company management can indicate potential investment opportunity.

Then we interview Australian Council of Superannuation Investors CEO Louise Davidson on how engagement and stewardship on the topic of gender diversity can assist investors in uncovering additional information and communicating areas of concern to companies.
