Close your eyes and imagine a banker. I'm serious. Pick a banker, any banker.
Got a picture in your head yet?
I'm no magician, but I can almost guarantee you're thinking of a middle-aged man wearing a boxy suit and glasses (bonus points if you're thinking of a Gringott's goblin haha). If I'm right, it really shouldn't be much of a surprise. The stereotype of finance being a "gentlemen's club" has stuck for decades, but it's time for a change, and the girls of our generation can make it happen.
Here's 3 ways that females in finance can change the game:
(that are backed by science!)
A greater number of women in finance is correlated to a smaller number of risky investments.
In short, more girls means better investments. It's true! Studies show that women chose safer investments and trade fewer times a year than men do. That means you (yes, YOU!) have the opportunity and ability to help others learn how to in
vest their money in the best way possible.
More women in finance means better customer relations
According to a McKinsey study, since more than half of investors are women, having women in firms gives them a "more well-rounded" view, helping them build better connections with their clients.
The higher the number of women in the financial system, the more stable the banking industry becomes
As said in a 2018 story by the World Economic Forum, including women throughout the financial system—from both the customer side (depositors and borrowers) and the firm side (at higher levels of leadership within a financial firm)—makes the banking industry as a whole more stable. So, with more girls in the system, both employees and investors are likely to get a higher return.
