- Male investors are twice as likely How women “buy the dip” when the stock markets fall is a new survey of Black rock Finds that contribute to a number of research that show that men take more risks with their investments. However, this does not mean that male investors achieve better and better returns.
When the stock market markets were levied in April in April after President Donald Trump’s tariff announcement, retail investors entered “to buy the DIP” to buy and bought the dip, the purchase ” Load on shares In the belief, they would rise again at some point, in which they were soon proven to be correct.
But who exactly bought the DIP?
A new black skirt Opinion poll Shows men were almost twice as likely as women. The survey of 1,000 registered voters, which was carried out from April 17th to 22nd, asked the respondents to respond to the explanation: “If the stock market drops and does not cut it off well and invest the registered voters because stocks are cheaper?”
Almost two thirds of men (63%) agreed, while it was only a third of women.
The results have long -term examinations that show that men and women invest money differently.
Female investors are usually more risk -deficiency than their male colleagues, which, according to a variety of economic studies, bring less money into assets such as stocks and crypto and more in cash and bonds. Women also invest fewer overall, possibly due to their lower income compared to men according to March Paper from the Amundi Investment Institute.
Men not only invest more – and invest in more risky assets – but generally more active in their trade. While female investors can deal with passive investment funds or investments that they can “set and forget”, men act much more often in their accounts, including active trade with a higher percentage of assets and loud registrations on their accounts, according to A more often on their accounts vanguard Research Paper from 2021.
So does this mean that women miss the stock gains, including the 17% increasing S&P 500, which has launched the market since Trump’s announcement of the “liberation day”? Well, not quite.
Although male investors are rather involved on average, their investment style also has some disadvantages.
“Male investors are usually cocky,” said the Amundi paper. “This means that you invest more in risky assets, especially on the stock exchange, but also more often, which increases the transaction costs of your portfolios, especially when investing in direct securities.”
It turns out that for those of us who are not professional investors, it is a better approach than actively trading-and the lower level of activity of women pays off. A 2021 loyalty Opinion poll found that women in the previous decade actually exceeded men’s investors by 0.4%.
