Women remain one of the most underutilised business resources. Even as women in finance are now chipping away at the glass ceiling, the share of women who complete the three-level chartered financial analyst (CFA) exam regarded as the gold standard in investment management globally is just 13 per cent in India.
It is 20 per cent globally, reveals comparative data that the CFA Institute shared in response to a request from Business Standard ahead of International Women's Day on March 8.
The divergence is less pronounced at lower levels of candidature. Women account for 27 per cent of CFA Level I candidates. This falls 6 percentage points to 21 per cent by CFA Level III. The share of men, however, goes up from 73 per cent to 79 per cent.
