The world of hedge funds is one that is well-known to be male dominated. Now, UBS is looking to spot fresh talent in the sector by launching a new portfolio investing only in women-led hedge funds, according to reports.

Citing people familiar with the matter, the Financial Times reports that UBS's Carmen portfolio is targeting between 10 and 15 funds across the world, having been given the green light after testing in recent weeks.
