International Women's Day: This is why you should invest as an investor, and not as a woman

livemint.com:

Today, on International Women's Day, we celebrate the achievements and contributions of women around the world. As we recognize the progress made towards gender equality, it’s important to remember that when it comes to personal finance and investing, the rules are nothing short of universal. 

Regardless of your gender, the key to successful investing lies in approaching it with the mindset of an investor, not as an individual belonging to one particular gender. In this article, we will explore why it is crucial to view investing through a gender-neutral lens and how doing so can lead to greater financial success and empowerment. 

When it comes to investing, it's essential to focus on your financial goals, risk tolerance, and investment strategy, rather than letting gender stereotypes or biases dictate your choices. By approaching investing simply as an investor, you can make more informed decisions that are based on sound financial principles rather than societal expectations. 

Additionally, viewing investing through a gender-neutral lens can help break down barriers and empower women to take control of their financial futures. 

Jasmine Gupta, Chief Digital Officer, Pahal Finance and Founder, MeitMoney points out, and rightly so, that investing is gender-agnostic and the rules of investing remain the same, whether it's a man or a woman.

“The financial goals and the risk-taking ability may differ across age groups, across genders, across regions/countries. However, the art of investing remains the same. Let’s focus on the art. Let's thrive in the same world on the same platforms. As women, we don’t need separate rules, separate platforms, and separate categories," she explains.
