An MSCI study published this month shows just seven companies in its key global index, comprised of more than 2,500 members, have boards that are dominated by women. But of these seven, more than half have outperformed their industry peers. While it's a small sample, the outperformance of this group is a supportive data point for heavyweight investors BlackRock Inc., Vanguard Group Inc. and State Street Corp., which are increasingly committed to backing more diversity on boards.
