September 2024 Q and A
QUESTION:
My husband and I approach investing differently. Is this the norm?
ANSWER:
Quite often, it is. According to studies by the University of California, Berkley and Nerdwallet, more men (68%) hold stocks than women (48%), and men trade about 45% more often than women. Women are less likely to feel educated about and confident in choosing investments.These findings don't mean men's approach to investing is better; it is just different. Women investors (66%) make up for lesser knowledge and confidence by seeking professional assistance.
They're also more risk-averse than men and hold their investments longer — traits that may potentially give women a leg up on consistent long-term returns.
