Top Female Portfolio Managers

Does anybody know where I can find a list of the top female fund managers by AUM, or if such a list exists? I'm looking for active managers, not passive/ETFs. I know Sarah Ketterer at Causeway manages ~$30B (although some of this is team-managed), and another lead PM who manages about $10B (won't say who for anonymity). Any other big ones out there lead-managed by women?

Just curious generally...

I see what you did there Dick.

Doesn't meet your AUM criteria yet, but I think Nehal Chopra of Tiger Ratan is going to be a rock star

 

OK i've done a bit more digging. Aside from the two PMs I've mentioned at ~$30B and $10B, respectively, there are a few other big ones out there. I'm excluding women in COO/Sales/legal and fund-of-funds type roles from this and just trying to zero in on the investors:

Jane Mendillo - Harvard Management Company - $32.7B - recently retired - not all AUM is actively managed as much is farmed out to PE/HF/3rd parties

Leda Braga - BlueCrest Capital - $13.6B - highest earning female PM at ~$50mm according to one source

Anne Dinning - one of five exec. partners at D.E. Shaw - tough to know exactly what she runs but my guess is it's on the order of $2-$6B

Marie Helene McAndrew - Permal - $4.1B

Geraldine Sundstrom - Brevan Howard - $2.8B

Elena Ambrosiadou - IKOS - $2.5B

Jamie Zimmerman - Lightspeed - $1.8B

Vivian Lau - Serengeti Asset Management - $1.4B

Some respectable funds there for sure. I'm really curious if there are any female big fish at Fido/Capital/T.Rowe/Wellington/SSgA etc., so if anyone has any info on that please chime in.
