Good morning! Michele Kang invests $25 million in ladies’s soccer, UConn wins NCAA championship, and women-led public firms are outperforming the tariff market crash—up to now.

– Down however not out. On Wednesday, Hypatia Capital launched an evaluation of its Ladies CEO ETF, an investable fund made up of U.S. public firms with feminine CEOs, from Jane Fraser‘s Citi to Tricia Griffith‘s Progressive. Over the past two chaotic months since President Donald Trump took workplace, the evaluation discovered, companies within the WCEO ETF had outperformed the broader market. Whereas index benchmark ETFs dropped 6.2% in March, the WCEO ETF dropped solely 4.9%.

In fact, later within the day on Wednesday, Trump gave his “Liberation Day” speech saying the total scope of his tariff plan, sending markets into freefall. Thursday and Friday turned out to be the most important two-day wipeout of shareholder worth ever recorded, based on Dow Jones. In whole $11 trillion in worth has been erased since Trump’s inauguration, with greater than half of that disappearing final week. Hypatia Capital managing accomplice and chief funding officer Patricia Lizarraga went again to the drafting board and shared a brand new evaluation with Fortune of women-led companies’ inventory efficiency by way of market shut Friday.

On April 3, the S&P 600 fell 7.6% whereas the WCEO ETF fell 6.1%. By market shut Friday, the WCEO ETF outperformed its benchmark by over 100 foundation factors. Hypatia carried out an industry-based evaluation to find out whether or not the industries in its fund accounted for the distinction—and decided that was not the rationale why women-led companies have been outperforming the market.

The fund invests in all women-led public firms within the U.S. with at the very least a $500 million market cap. Lisa Su‘s AMD is its high holding, adopted by Jayshree Ullal’s Arista Networks and Revathi Advaithi‘s Flex.

Lizarraga believes the 1.1% delta might be resulting from women-led firms’ chance of getting extra defensive stability sheets, decrease debt-to-equity ratios, and better money reserves. In 2021, an article within the Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Finance discovered that feminine CEOs’ money ratio was 18% greater than the imply among the many high 1,500 publicly traded firms within the U.S. “In a down market, when traders might punish extremely leveraged firms and reward stability and bigger money reserves, these traits might grow to be a aggressive benefit,” Lizarraga says. “The WCEO ETF, which features a numerous vary of firms from small-cap to mega-cap, could also be benefiting from this prudence.”

When the startup and enterprise capital world entered its extended downturn in 2022 and focus shifted from progress to profitability, feminine founders discovered themselves higher ready; with much less entry to capital, many had future their companies extra responsibly. The identical now appears to be holding true for the most important women-led public firms within the U.S. After this morning’s market open, we’ll see whether or not this aggressive benefit persists.
