Why Female Investors are the Future of the Investment World

Why Female Investors are the Future of the Investment World originally posted here

Did you know that women are the future of the investment world? That’s right! A recent study by Credit Suisse showed that over the next two decades, women will control more than two-thirds of global wealth. This is a trend that financial advisors and investors need to pay attention to. In this article, we will discuss why female investors are so essential and what you can do to attract more of them to your business.  

So why are female investors so important?

First of all, they tend to be more risk-averse than their male counterparts. This means that they are more likely to invest in companies that have a solid track record and are less likely to take chances on risky startups. This is good news for businesses that are looking for long-term stability and growth.

Another reason why female investors are so important is because they are far more likely to invest in socially responsible companies. This means that they are interested in companies that are making a positive impact on the world, and not just those who are trying to make a quick profit. For example, a recent study showed that women were twice as likely as men to invest in green energy companies.

This is something that is becoming increasingly important to millennials and Generation Z investors as well as those investing for women.

In their article “Women controlling the Investment Wealth” on iFlip they share “How much wealth do American women control? As reported in Forbes, a Bank of Montreal study estimated US women control $22 trillion in personal wealth.

Another post in Investment News tells of a research report, which says, “An unprecedented amount of assets will shift into the hands of U.S. women over the next three to five years, representing a $30 trillion opportunity by the end of the decade.”
