Pensions & Investments reporter Courtney Degen spoke with Christine Phillpotts, portfolio manager at Ariel Investments, to discuss her career and industry insights after being named one of P&I's Influential Women in Institutional Investing.
Phillpotts spoke about the importance of mentorship and sponsorship, which she described as an "express elevator;" her journey into asset management and the importance of diversity in the field, especially within women's groups.
Conversations around gender diversity often treat "women as a monolith," she said, and it's important to elevate all voices when seeking to improve gender diversity.
