London’s investment banks are struggling to shrink the gender pay gap, with women making up less than a fifth of top earners.

Female bankers made up on average just 15.5% of the top quarter of earners at a sample of 10 securities units in the City of London, according toThat proportion is worse than the broader finance industry’s 20.5%, according to a Bloomberg Newssubmitted to the U.K. government. It’s a reminder of how the best-paid parts of finance remain particularly male-dominated.

Morgan Stanley & Co. International Plc had the lowest proportion of women in the highest pay quartile, at 10.9%. Goldman Sachs International had the highest with 22.4%. The picture is complicated by some companies reporting separate data for subsidiaries. J.P. Morgan Securities Plc, for example, has 15.4% women in the top pay bracket, compared to 30.2% in J.P. Morgan Europe Limited.

Under that measure, female workers across the lenders face an hourly pay shortfall of 34%, down from 35% a year earlier. There’s an average 44.1% difference between male and female hourly wages, compared to 44.5% reported the previous year. That means women earned about 56 pence for every pound that men earned on average per hour.
