The gender pay gap is a hot – and frustrating – topic that has rightfully earned its place in the spotlight, but right beside it is a less talked about cause for concern: the investing gap.
Simply put, women tend to invest less than men. Earning less money and taking time away from careers to raise children or care for aging parents are some of the factors that explain why many women have smaller retirement balances than men.
Beyond that, a fear of investing incorrectly can hold women back from investing early and often. According to a survey by BlackRock, women keep a full 71 percent of their assets in cash. Savings generally make women feel safe, while they consider investing to be a potential source of stress. But while cash may feel like a risk-free option, it has no opportunity to earn a return and it will depreciate over time due to inflation. On the other hand, the stock market has returned an average of 9.5 percent for the past 90 years.
