Men, on the other hand, tend to trust their thinking and are less inclined to change their management strategy;<\/li>\n<li>Men do more trading (i.e., they buy and sell securities with significant frequency), increasing transaction costs;<\/li>\n<li>Women are less sensitive to the pressure of results: this leads to a more balanced and patient approach, resulting in better performances with less risk.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In short, it seems that Warren Buffett, acknowledged as one of the most successful investors in the world, has embraced the investment strategies that have given women leadership in performance that most ignore.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the book, you will find numerous references supporting women&#8217;s records in investing.<\/p>\n<p>If what Lou Ann Lofton claims is true,<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">why are money managers in great majority men?<\/h4>\n<p><span class=\"parent-p-bottom-0\">To answer this question, I entered the keywords &#8220;<em>women money managers finance<\/em>&#8221; in a search engine; I obtained several results, which I summarise below:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In financial organisations, women occupy management positions in less than 25% of cases and top management positions in less than 10%;<\/li>\n<li>only one out of five money manager positions are held by a woman;<\/li>\n<li>the representation of women in money manager positions is lower in countries with a long tradition in asset management, such as the US, the UK and Germany;<\/li>\n<li>mutual funds managed by women offer better yields.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The answer is simple: in finance, as in business,<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">the <em>glass ceiling<\/em>,<br \/>\nthe invisible barrier that makes it difficult for women<br \/>\nto gain access to the key or interesting positions,<br \/>\nstill resists.<\/h4>\n<p>Why is all this happening?<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"parent-p-bottom-0\">At this point, two questions arise:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What makes financial institutions&#8217; shareholders give up the benefits of a greater presence of women?<\/li>\n<li>Is it reasonable to suppose that the defence of gender power prevails over the need to deliver better performance?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What do you think?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Would you feel more confident if your investments were managed by a man or a woman?
