Gender Differences and Mutual Fund Managers

What I’m saying is – and this is not a come-on in any way, shape, or form – is that men and women can’t be friends, because the sex part always gets in the way.
– When Harry Met Sally…

academic study has found that the gender of a mutual fund manager might have an impact on its returns.
Not that men are better or worse managers than women. Instead, an all-male or all-female team might be better than a mixed gender team.
Perhaps Harry was right.
