What I'm finding is about 36% of CRE positions are held by women as of 2006 (as opposed to 51% in business in general). This is for the US. From CREW (commercial, not corporate): 9% of females reported holding a C-Suite position as opposed to 22% of males, from a 2011 survey.

BlackRock , the largest asset manager in the world, has launched a new bank-maintained collective trust fund for the U.S. defined contribution (DC) market with a substantial allocation to global REITs. The Strategic Completion Fund, which funded in September 2011, also includes allocations to TIPS and commodities to provide exposure to three inflation-sensitive asset classes in a single fund. The REIT allocation is benchmarked to the FTSE/EPRA NAREIT Developed Real Estate Index. The fund is being used by plan sponsors as a stand-alone investment option within defined contribution plans and is intended to supplement a diversified portfolio. It is also being used as a component of target date funds, currently the most widely used investment vehicle in the DC space. BlackRock, which introduced the first target date fund, has utilized REITs in their proprietary target date funds, LifePath®, since 2006.
