Risky Conversations with Jamie Lee

Investing in Women Leaders: Patricia Lizarraga, CEO and Portfolio Manager of W CEO ETF

Jamie Lee, Patricia Lizarraga Episode 79

In this episode of Risky Conversations, we talk about betting on and investing in women leaders. 

I'm joined by Patricia Lizarraga, CEO and portfolio manager of the W CEO ETF, who discusses her journey from growing up in a military dictatorship in Lima, Peru, to her career in finance. 

She highlights the challenges and opportunities she faced, including starting a sorority at Yale and bringing financial products to Peru. 

Patricia explains the investment thesis of the W CEO ETF, which focuses on women CEOs outperforming, because as women, they've had to consistently outperform and overcome many internal and external barriers. 

W CEO ETF, which invests in 140 U.S. companies with female CEOs, has shown an average outperformance of 170 basis points per annum and has outperformed its comparables by 70-90 basis points since its inception in January 2023. 

We talked about the importance of diversification and impact investing, aiming to increase female representation in leadership roles.
