Abstract

This paper explores the interplay between female representation in mutual funds' management teams and their voting behavior. We find that women-led mutual funds are more likely to support environmental and social (ES) proposals, but not governance ones. This result is robust to excluding sustainable funds, alleviating concerns that the findings are driven by the self-selection of female fund managers into sustainable funds. While women-led mutual funds are also more likely to vote with management in firms headed by female CEOs, this does not conflict with their greater support for ES shareholder proposals. Overall, our results suggest that female representation in fund management teams is related to their voting behavior on ES issues.
