Who invests better, men or women?

Hello people from all world

I'm a psychologist and today I'm writing to you about a question that came up in a finance chat: Who do you think invests better, men or women?

So, to give my opinion on this subject, let's talk about the characteristics of men and women. Of course, these characteristics are general, since, in particular, each person can present aspects of personality that are different and even antagonistic to the most common aspects of personality of the gender.

Men in finance: Men tend to explore more, take more risks to achieve faster results. They have great self-confidence, thinking that everything will work out and generally, they like the subject of finances more than women. Fortunately, today that is changing.

Women in finance: are more restrained. They have, for better or worse, a much lower excess of self-confidence than men, so they venture less into new investments and risk less capital than men. In addition, they generally have less knowledge of finance. This comes from a sexist culture, in which, for many years, it taught that only men should develop financially, as they would be the breadwinners of the house. Fortunately times are changing and the minds of many people and families are evolving.

In theory, from what I said, men seek more varied investments and take more risks when deciding where to invest. for example, there are more men on the stock market and in cryptocurrencies than women.

Women like more security and more pragmatic investment. The number of women in fixed income is much higher than in variable income.

In my opinion, on the one hand, men enter in greater numbers in variable income, investing in stocks, for example. This can make your wealth grow more in the long run. However, women are more constant in their investments, they don't touch them much, since they don't like to take risks and see their wealth grow slowly month by month. This is good, because compound interest works when the person doesn't touch their equity and leaves it yielding.

Therefore, the best thing would be for the two to unite, and, as much as the woman would take a little more risk and enter the variable income to increase her wealth growth, as the man would seek more security and move less in the equity, to leave the compound interest operate for longer.

That's it folks, I hope you liked it.
Good afternoon!!
