FinanceFeeds: Women VS Men: ‘Gender Investment Gap’ is the Next Issue to Address

By RICK STEVES, Mar 8, 2024

(FinanceFeeds) -- A recent survey conducted by online trading app Moomoo revealed how wide is the gap between men and women when it comes to investing in Singapore, Hong Kong, United States, Canada, and Australia.

Moomoo’s first global women investor survey unveiled the confronting challenges and needs of women retail investors. Besides finding that female investors are planning to invest more in the future, their overall stock market outlook is almost neutral: a slightly bullish rate at around 5.3 out of 10 in the survey.

Low investment confidence among women

Notably, the survey revealed a relatively low investment confidence level for women, with data collected from 2,288 users of moomoo and its sister brand Futubull across the five major markets showing a significant gender confidence gap.

North American female investors demonstrated the highest average confidence level at 5.28 out of 10, almost 1 point behind the average level of North American males. The gender gap was noticeable in every market surveyed, as can be observed in the image below.
