In 2017 we were proud to launch The 1973 Club, a prestigious club named to mark the year in which women first gained access to the London Stock Exchange trading floor. The club aims to increase gender diversity in the private equity industry, from supporting those first entering the industry, to rallying women to stay in or return to the sector by bolstering their connections, both personal and professional. The 1973 Club hosts regular events to provide an informal setting for women to network with each other and build the relationships that underpin leadership in the industry.
