ICYMI World Economic Forum post
Author Meredith Jones published a comprehensive article on the value add women bring to performance managing alternative assets in areas such as hedge funds, private equity and venture capital. Her article cites numerous studies including a 2015 study by Kyria Capital which highlighted that women-run hedge funds are more likely to produce top-quartile performance.  

SEC Chair White speech at "Women in the NYPD.."
"The story of women in the NYPD is both impressive and heroic.  But it is also a story, like in many other male-dominated workplaces, where there is more to be written and achieved.  Having strong, skilled members and leaders of the NYPD, both women and men, who know their communities and the pressures of everyday life, is critical to protecting our City and everyone in it".
