Female Investing

Mounting evidence to suggest women improve performance — both at the corporate level and on the trading floor.

  • MSCI’s Women on Boards study showed companies with strong female leadership generate stronger return on equity (ROE) — 10.1% versus 7.4% of their male-only counterparts.
  • Credit Suisse’s study showed that among large-cap stocks, investing in companies which have at least one woman on the board leads to outperformance by 5%.
  • Professors Brad Barber and Terrance Odean, in their 2001 paper titled Boys will be boys: Gender, Overconfidence, and Common Stock Investment, showed men trade 45% more than women, leading to a 59% greater reduction in profitability compared to women.
