đź’ˇ Why Women Make Incredible Investors (even if we start later)
Let’s be honest—when it comes to money, most of us didn’t grow up hearing “you’d make a great investor someday.” We heard “be careful,” or “don’t take risks.” So it’s no surprise that so many women feel behind or intimidated when it comes to investing. But here’s the thing: when women do invest, we’re actually really, really good at it.
đź’” The Pain Points: Why So Many Women Hesitate
“I don’t know where to start.”
“I’m afraid I’ll lose money.”
“What if I pick the wrong thing?”
“My partner handles that stuff.”
“I just don’t have time to learn it all.”
Money can feel emotional—and for good reason. Many of us were taught to save and budget, not grow wealth. But that fear of making a mistake often keeps women from ever starting, which means we lose our most powerful investing advantage: time.
📊 The Stats Don’t Lie: Women Are Naturally Great Investors
Fidelity’s 2021 Women & Investing Study found that women’s portfolios outperformed men’s by 0.4% per year on average. Warwick Business School analyzed 2,800 investors over three years—women beat men by 1.8% annually. The UBS Global Wealth Report showed that 85% of women manage daily finances, but only 23% feel confident about long-term investing. BMO’s 2022 survey found that half of women wish they’d started investing sooner.
đź’Ş The Confidence Gap Is the Real Enemy
The biggest barrier isn’t knowledge—it’s confidence. So many women tell me, “I just don’t know enough to start.” But here’s the truth: you don’t need a finance degree. You just need a plan, a little guidance, and permission to start small. That’s where education and community come in. When we talk about money openly—without jargon or judgment—we change everything. Because confidence isn’t something you magically wake up with. It’s something you build by taking small, informed steps.
YOU ARE NOT BAD WITH MONEY. YOU ARE SIMPLY AT THE STARTING LINE OF YOUR NEXT LEVEL. AND THE BEST TIME TO BEGIN? NOW.
