Amsterdam, March 2nd 2021 - Female investors, who have been on the rise lately, apply a long-term investment strategy. 17% of women invest in ETFs, according to research by neo broker BUX. Two of the top 10 most popular ETFs among women are focused on dividends, indicating a long-term strategy.
Besides the focus on long term profits, the female investor is future-minded in a much broader sense. Research has shown that women also value a future-proof planet. In the top 10 most popular ETFs, two funds are sustainable funds (ESG funds), applying environmental, social and governance principles. This is in contrast to the 10 most popular ETFs among male investors, which doesn’t include any ESG funds.
Women investors tend to have an eye for innovation with the Automation and Robotics fund being the most traded fund. Additionally, tech companies are gaining momentum. Tesla, Adyen, Snowflake and ASML are amongst the top 10 most popular stocks.
