Partnership creates new development
opportunities for young women scholars seeking a career in asset
management
MetLife Investment Management (MIM), the institutional asset
management business of MetLife, Inc. (NYSE: MET), today announced a
partnership with Girls Who Invest (GWI), which will provide
development opportunities for young women seeking a career in the
asset management industry.
Through the GWI partnership, several GWI Scholars will join
MIM’s intern program over the summer, focusing on portfolio
management, research analysis, and trading through placement with
the Public Fixed Income, Private Capital, and Real Estate
investment teams. While providing an immersive six-week experience
for each scholar, the program will also enable MIM to tap into a
deeper talent pool through access to the GWI career database,
participation in speaking engagements, and mentoring young women
through the GWI program.
GWI’s mission is to create a diverse pipeline of talented and
motivated young women who are well-prepared to succeed in
leadership and portfolio management roles within the asset
management industry.
"At MetLife Investment Management, we are committed to fostering
an inclusive culture through diversity of talent and thought,
underscoring our commitment to creating a more sustainable
company,” said Steven J. Goulart, president of MetLife Investment
Management and chief investment officer of MetLife, Inc.
“Partnering with Girls Who Invest will deepen this commitment by
supporting the growth and development of women at all stages of
their careers in the asset management industry.”
Since its founding in 2015, more than 800 scholars have
participated in the GWI Summer and Online Intensive Programs,
providing them with development, education and professional
community building opportunities.
The flagship Summer Intensive Program is taught by leading
academics and industry professionals, including faculty from the
Wharton School and UCLA Anderson School of Management. Scholars
then complete six-week paid internships in frontline investing at
one of GWI’s more than 100 partner firms.
This partnership was made possible through the support of MIM’s
Women’s Investment Network and MetLife Foundation, as well as MIM’s
Institutional Client Group, Public Fixed Income, Private Capital,
and Real Estate groups.
Goulart concluded: “Many different groups at MIM came together
to get this program off the ground, and we could not be more
excited to see it formally launch this year. Through this
partnership we have an opportunity to guide and mentor a diverse
group of women who bring passion and talent to the industry today
and in the future.”
