Women and Investments

Research shows that, out of all assets controlled by women, 71% is in cash. This is because women do not think they know enough about investments

and wait until they are older to invest. It is important to have a strong foundation before investing.

This is achieved by adapting finance principles such as saving, budgeting,

increasing sources of income and researching what you are to invest in. Knowing the basics to what you are investing in is key.

Remember to always differentiate between saving and investing.
