We were delighted to have Charlotte Yonge talk to our Sixth Formers as part of our Sixth Form Lecture series today dedicated to careers. 

After graduating in French and Latin, Charlotte started to work in Investment management and fell in love with the industry. Charlotte explained what investing is and what her job entails; she also opened our eyes on the role investors play in bringing about change, diversity and equal opportunities.

Charlotte is the founder of GAIN (Girls Are Investors) and an advocate for more women in the investment industry. She claims that a lack of industry knowledge and female role models continue to be big obstacles but she excited our students with the many opportunities available to young women who can bring new perspectives into a male-dominated industry. We are very grateful to Charlotte and her colleague Hannah for coming in to talk to our girls today and for giving them so much food for thought.
