GUEST – Fikile Mbhokota - CEO of Satrix
This International Women’s Month, Fikile Mbhokota, CEO of Satrix, poses the question, ‘Are more women investing, really?’ It’s tough to answer. In 2023, Fidelity found that globally, 60% of surveyed women were investing in stocks, with younger women, especially, leading the charge. 71% of polled Gen Zs and 63% of millennials were investing. The CFA Institute had historically reported that just 40% of women were investing, so it seems progress is being made. However, it is not equal worldwide; and progress still doesn’t mean gender financial parity.
