“I think we’re a bit outnumbered, but we’re here.” So said one commenter on a Reddit thread about whether women joined in the recent WallStreetBets trading frenzy.
Some trading platforms did a good job of signing up women during the pandemic. Just over a third of Robinhood users were female at the beginning of this year, up from 20.5% a year before, according to Cardify. For the finance industry as a whole, though, attracting more female custom remains a frustratingly slow work in progress.
Governments and companies are increasingly shifting the responsibility for a secure retirement onto individuals, raising the stakes for individuals’ investment decisions. Getting women to increase their exposure to equities is all the more important because they outlive men, so need their pension pots to last longer.
Warren Buffett once quipped that part of his investing success came from “only competing with half the population.” In reality, few people are benefiting from the status quo. Women are missing out on a share of stock-market spoils. Asset managers are losing out on the higher fees that come from higher-yielding assets. Robinhood needs female customers to maintain its blistering user growth as the startup prepares for a mooted initial public offering.
Well considering most of the markets have gone parabolic...they have more sense than many
We should thank women to be cautions as at least 50% of the world population have some sort of patience and not act by impulse or by testosterone surge . Thank you girls/women , I know that I can sleep at night knowing that tomorrow the sun will rise.
It's Crypto for me
Because the rampaging sexism in the City?
Maybe its the message we got when Martha Stewart was put in prison while the men around that scandal walked free...
That because we prefer Bitcoin
