Using the top 1000 US firms from 2002 to 2015 as a tradable stock universe, we replicate and backtest five market-traded gender-diverse portfolios. We find evidence that gender-diverse firms have smaller volatility. Moreover, the gender-risk relationship is non-linear, with optimal female board ratio at 24% or 2-3 female directors. This significant non-linear gender-risk reduction effect is found in 8 out of 10 industries. We find that a gender-diverse board strongly reduces diversity and governance concerns. Moreover, we establish strong evidence that the gender-risk reduction effect is channeled through positive CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) performance.
