Laurence Bensafi Fearless Woman - City Hive
 

Q1. What or who inspired you to work in investing?

No one, I came to asset management by chance after studying statistics and econometrics and working for a pharma company and then a bank. I
immediately loved how what my work is connected to what is going on in the world.


Q2. What do you think the future looks like for women in investing? What would you like to see?

The future looks bright, women make great investors and they can bring a different viewpoint/risk attitude to male teams. I for sure want to see more diverse teams notably in terms of gender but also background.


Q3. What is your attitude to investment risk?

I would say I’m an average risk taker but this is also because my mandate is to beat an index by a few percentage so I build a portfolio around this constraint


Q4. If you had a superpower, what would it be?

Not having to sleep, if I could have 24 hours days I could spend more time with my family and for myself.


Q5. Tell us your motto or if you don’t live by one, why not?

I just try to do my best juggling private life and work!
