Responsible Investor: Women’s investment beliefs

The financial sector is missing a “huge untapped” opportunity by overlooking women’s desire to invest in line with their beliefs and values, according to a report by Moxie Future – the responsible investment platform dedicated to women investors.

It urges the global financial industry to recognise women’s aspirations around responsible investing and offer better tools, products, solutions, and advice.

Women currently control around $39tn (€31tn) of the world’s wealth.

Founder Jessica Robinson, former Asian Head for the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), stated: “While our study has found that women are generally positive about responsible investing, it has uncovered the practical difficulties that they face when committing their money, not least a perception among women that the financial services industry is failing to offer advice that aligns with their goals and interests.”
