Why Women Don't Invest

Chuah Sze Phing, Group Chief Sustainability Officer & Head Of Group Marketing & Communications, Kenanga Investment Bank Berhad

Why Women Don't Invest

There is a perception that investing is a man’s world and that women lack confidence and tend to stay away. However, various studies have proven that women are better investors. According to Bursa Malaysia, 30% of the total trade value in 2021 was made by women investors, and that women’s total trade volume had surged by 194.1% between 2018 and 2021 which is encouraging.

Joining us to illuminate the path towards gender equality in investing, and to help level the playing field, is Chuah Sze Phing. Chuah is the Group Chief Sustainability Officer and Head of Group Marketing & Communications at Kenanga Investment Bank Berhad, and she'll share her expert insights to demystify this complex issue.
