Investment Management and the COVID-19 Pandemic

Posted: Thursday, May 27, 2021 at 12:08 PM CDT

New York, NY -- (SBWire) -- 05/27/2021 --The COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact on many different areas of our lives. Perhaps one that may not have been predictable is the effect it's had on the way that women in India are approaching the stock market. When India went into lockdown in March 2020 many people found themselves with a lot more time on their hands and, according to local stockbroking businesses, this has resulted in a rise in the number of female investors. One local firm added 1.5 million clients to its business during the pandemic and 235,000 were women. There could be many different reasons why women in India have chosen now to start getting more involved in investment. Having more time has obviously had an impact, as this has created the opportunity to focus on finances, to plan and research options. Advances in technology and the simplification of investment processes are also likely to have made investment a more attractive option.

Selby Jennings is an investment management recruiter with a global perspective. Ever since it was first established in 2004 the firm has been focused on connecting the most talented people with businesses where they can have an impact. Solving the challenge of talent acquisition has made Selby Jennings a leading specialist investment management recruiter with expertise across a broad range of banking and financial services fields, including risk management, sales and trading and financial technology. Being able to tailor permanent, contract and multi-hire solutions on a national, and international, level has been vital. In addition to a presence in key US cities including Dallas, Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and San Francisco the firm is part of a global network that extends to 60 countries. Investment is very much an international industry today and staying connected to trends and changes in other markets - including India - is what makes the firm such a strong presence in the global recruitment market.

The combination of local and international experience and connections is also what has made Selby Jennings the recruitment partner of choice to hundreds of industry-leading enterprises via its role as part of the Phaidon International group. The firm is resolutely focused on people, including ensuring that its own internal team receives best-in-class training and works with the most up to date technology and strategies. This has given the team the momentum to streamline the process of recruitment, making it simpler and more effective for all parties, and providing peace of mind that the process is in safe hands.
