Gender pay gap data at Preqin

We present our 2024 UK Gender Pay Gap Report. The data in this report represents our commitment to creating a connected and inclusive culture that welcomes a diverse range of people and perspectives to foster creative solutions and avoid groupthink. As of December 2024, our UK-based team was 64% men and 36% women. The chart below shows that 41% of our managers and 25% of senior leaders were women.

The main driver of our gender pay gap reflects the roles that men and women occupy at the firm. Over the last year, the pay gap at Preqin has narrowed as a result of more women in manager and senior leader roles. At the same time, the fluctuations in the bonus gaps derive primarily from a larger proportion of men in senior and sales roles.
