A study based on data from a European investment bank reveals that women invest better than men.
Stock market, cryptocurrencies... They are more clairvoyant but the problem is that they dare to invest less than men.
On the occasion of March 8, it is good to mention that women are better investors!
According to a Trade Republic study,
German investment bank which has 4 million clients across 17 European countries, including France, demonstrates that women invest better than men.
The conclusion of the study is indisputable: the investments of female clients have a return two points higher than the investments of male clients.
For what ?
Because women respect the principles of a good investor, describes the study.
“They take fewer risks”
"Women invest better than men because they diversify more. They take less risks and they 'trade' less often and therefore they have a more efficient return. The only problem is that there is no that 15% of all those who invest are women. We are collectively depriving ourselves of their ability to properly manage long-term savings,” explains Mathias Bassano, the Europe director of Trade Republic.

Women also tend to start investing later, on average two years later.
For what ?
Because savings are used in particular to prepare for retirement.
And figures show that in France, women's pensions are on average 30% lower than those of men.
