“On the African continent at present, only 5% of fund managers are women. Standard Bank believes that the economic empowerment of women is essential to raising Africa’s economic output and creating sustainable jobs,” says Jonathan Sprigg, Head of International Fiduciary Services at Standard Bank. “A key goal of the AWIF Foundation and its partners is to empower women financial leaders who will drive economic growth, job creation, and create prosperity. We feel privileged to be supporting the initiative by administering the AWIF Foundation here in Jersey.”
“The AWIF initiative aligns with our Group purpose: Africa is our home, we drive her growth,” says Charles Molteno, Chief Executive and Jersey Head, Standard Bank Offshore. “Through the AWIF Foundation, we can continue to support growth on the continent by championing diversity and inclusion in the asset management space. Jersey is a great enabler for impact initiatives such as this one, and we are delighted to support and facilitate the UNECA’s sustainable development goals in Africa.”
