As related to women and wealth, the themes around confidence continually surface for both female clients and professional women in the industry. According to Dimensional's “Investor Survey,” twice as many women lacked confidence in their investment knowledge when compared with men. Women today are better educated and more qualified than ever before, yet confidence issues continue to plague women at even the highest levels of achievement.
In their book The Confidence Code, journalists Claire Shipman and Katty Kay explore a multitude of avenues, both biological and social, on a hunt to better understand the origins and impact of this enigmatic, potentially elusive quality. While confidence is partly influenced by genetics, it is not a fixed psychological state and can be built over time. This presentation will explore these concepts and how they relate to financial advisors helping women investors build more confidence about investing.
