Women of the World Endowment ("WoWE") is the first 100% mission-aligned endowment investing our capital in and through women for market-rate risk adjusted returns and deep impact. We build pathways to mainstream investing in and through women as the Changemakers who drive resilient and sustainable investment systems, communities and economies. We invite co-investing to expand the capital pool. Our returns are granted to organizations accelerating the opportunity of women addressing today’s most pressing challenges through systems transformation. We are creating a virtuous circle of capital that spans the entire investment spectrum and maximizes outcomes for all.
WoWE’s public markets portfolio has been outperforming its benchmark including through the COVID-19 context highlighting that a gender lens investing (GLI) strategy can deliver robust results.
