Level 20 is pleased to present updated diversity data for the Netherlands, which finds:
- In 2025, 18% of Netherlands-based investment professionals are women, up from 15% in 2023.
- Whilst representation of women in senior roles has remained static at 9%, good progress has been observed at mid and junior levels
- There has been a reduction in the prevalence of all-male investment teams
- Venture capital firms remain ahead of private equity firms, but the gap is closing
