London, October 9, 2024 — A new study from Bloomberg Intelligence (BI) shows that companies with more women on boards in the US, Europe and Asia-Pacific (excluding Japan)1 draw higher annual returns, between 2-5%, compared to peers with less gender diverse boardrooms since 2018. According to the BI Women Capital study, the return differential between the highest and the lowest quintile of women on the board was 11% in the US, 13% in Europe and a sizable 35% in Asia-Pacific.


Adeline Diab, BI Director of Research and Chief ESG Strategist, commented: “Women capital drives value, gender diversity reinforces fundamental analysis and could help investors make more informed decisions, while also demonstrating better ESG credentials. More diverse boards often result in higher profits, stronger valuations and lower volatility in developed markets, like in the US and Europe. Meanwhile, in emerging markets, gender diverse companies demonstrate lower volatility, but have not translated into stronger returns as women in boardrooms do not appear to be a priority or fully recognized by markets.”


BI’s analysis reveals that women’s presence in boardrooms has tripled to 26% in 2023 from under 9% in 2010. The strong progress, especially in developed markets which continues to maintain momentum, has been aided by regulatory support and shareholder activism – except in Japan where women remain mainly absent from Nippon boards.
