Women In Finance Charter

At Irwin Mitchell, we’re committed to diversity, inclusion and creating an inclusive workplace. That’s why we’re proud that IM Asset Management is a signatory of HM Treasury’s Women in Finance Charter.

The Women in Finance Charter is a pledge for gender balance across financial services from HM Treasury. It’s a commitment to work together, across our industry with signatory firms and with Government, to build a more balanced and fair financial services industry.

Our Commitment

We are committed to improving the gender balance within Asset Management and across our industry. IM Asset Management’s Chief Executive Officer, Richard Potts, is responsible and accountable, as our senior executive lead, for gender diversity and inclusion in our financial services teams

Our Target and Actions

In May 2021, we committed to a target of having women in 30% of Asset Management roles at Associate and above by 1 May 2025. We’re going to review this target annually to make sure it’s ambitious enough and we’ll publish progress against this target annually.

To help us meet this target, we’ve delivered an action plan centred on the three key themes of recruitment, progression and retention. In 2021, our actions included:

Recruitment: Improving our inclusive recruitment practices, with updated role profiles to reflect our flexible culture
Progression: Equipping our line managers to nurture and retain female talent
Retention: Establishing a “Colleague voice”, listening to our colleagues to drive behavioural change.

We believe in enabling everyone to thrive, in understanding, celebrating and valuing our differences, and in unlocking potential through a flexible, fair and unbiased approach. This enables us to make better decisions which benefit our clients

Our Progress

The percentage of women in Asset Management roles at Associate and above as at 30 April:

2018	2019	2020	2021	2022
0%	6.7%	12.5%	16.7%	39.3%

“We’re proud of the achievements we’ve already made around improving the gender diversity within Asset Management, exceeding our target with 39.3% of women in Asset Management roles at Associate and above.

“As part of our commitment to the Women in Finance Charter and to gender diversity within our industry, we’ve taken actions on recruitment, progression and retention this year. This is helping us strengthen our talent pipeline to senior management. This year, we will be reviewing our target and the actions needed to deliver on this, as we continue to develop an inclusive culture that enables everyone to thrive.”
Richard Potts, Chief Executive Officer, IM Asset Management

We're proud to support the Women in Finance Charter and we're committed to improving our gender diversity among senior management.
