Approaching three in five women and a majority of men working in IR in Asia have additional corporate communications responsibilities. PR responsibilities are also held by 40 percent of female IR professionals in Asia and 36 percent of men. While three in five men have additional responsibilities for corporate strategy, this figure falls to two in five among Asian women in investor relations. More women than men in Asia have no additional responsibilities outside of IR. Almost twice as many women as men working in investor relations in Asia have undertaken IR association training. Just 36 percent of men have had accredited professional training, compared with more than seven in 10 women in IR.
