#IWD Event: Women & Investing
The first female investor that I met was Lauren Templeton, at a seminar in which she was one of the guest speakers. She is the grand niece of famous Sir John Templeton who is one of the world’s greatest value investors. Lauren shared that she is the founder and President of Templeton & Phillips Capital Management, LLC, a global investing boutique that she runs with her husband. She reminded us that “trouble is opportunity” and that we should always be on the “lookout for trouble” such as a bear market. Really good investors have learned to harness the power of the bear market to boost their returns for years to come. That’s really what distinguishes an average investor from a great investor.”
I feel that there isn’t a need to specifically differentiate investors by their gender. Statistically, men are a lot more active in trading than women whereas women are more likely to do quality trades over quantity. After all, investing is a marathon, not a race. Results take time to show.
Women investors are likely to spend more time on researching for undervalued companies and patiently waiting for the right time to trade. Patience is a virtue. Women are also more intuitive than men— a gift that most women are born with.
