Scandinavia's biggest bank has studied almost 11,000 publicly traded companies across the globe and the results are crystal clear: firms with a woman running the show perform far better than the market.
These are "solid result," Robert Naess, the manager of US$42 billion in stocks at Nordea Bank AB who designed the study, said by phone Monday.
The Nordea analysis shows that firms that at the end of the calendar year were run by women (either as a chief executive officer or as head of the board of directors) went on to beat the benchmark index over the next 12 months.
More specifically, companies led by women have returned 25 percent a year since 2009, which is more than double the 11 percent the MSCI World Index has delivered, based on equal weightings.
As to why female CEOs deliver better results, the study is less clear. Naess suggests that women tend to be more conservative in their predictions, leaving more room for positive surprises.
