Summary:
CNN`s Money did a really nice job in its profile of Nina Hughes who currently runs River Source`s Global Technology fund.
The Issue:
Excerpt from the interview:

To some extent, technology and money management are still male-dominated worlds. Does this affect you on the job?

I am aware that there can be a double standard, still, for women. Once when I was out marketing some of the funds, someone told me that he liked my numbers, but wanted to know who took care of my family.

I was flabbergasted. Every man you`ve ever thought of letting manage your money is probably also responsible for a family as well. To ask me that question implies that the men aren`t ever responsible for their families, and that`s not right. But no one in this industry or at my job has ever questioned my abilities just because I have a family.
