Women fund managers struggle to see their tribe grow. Can fund houses help?
Medial

The number of women fund managers in the Indian Mutual Funds industry has remained constant at 42, which is less than 10% of the total fund managers. This is primarily due to the limited talent pool of women in the industry, as brokerage houses, where many fund managers start, have traditionally been male-dominated. Additionally, by the time women reach the qualifying stage for fund management, they often reach marriageable age and may prioritize family responsibilities. However, fund houses acknowledge the value and diversity women bring to the industry and are actively working towards increasing their representation through initiatives like hiring women as management trainees and providing support during maternity breaks.

However, some believe that a correction in the public markets is imminent, leading to potential opportunities for venture capital funds. The departure of partners to establish their own funds has occurred due to factors such as niche opportunities, internal conflicts, and corporate governance issues. The track record of a fund and its managers plays a significant role in attracting investors, but proving this track record can be challenging for newly established funds.

Peak XV Partners, a venture capital firm, is introducing the Peak XV Anchor Fund, a permanent capital vehicle that allows the firm's leaders and team members to invest in future funds and collaborate with other fund managers. The fund aims to institutionalize internal funding and deepen the commitment and alignment of Peak XV managers with the firm's investment strategies. Unlike similar funds, the Anchor Fund will exclusively source its capital from the firm's partners and team members, with a focus on investing in global seed and early-stage venture funds. This move follows Peak XV's separation from Sequoia Capital and positions the firm as a major player in the startup ecosystem.
