Study after study has shown that women are less aggressive than men when it comes to investing. There are just as many theories about why. It’s the impact of this trend that’s most important, and especially what it means for you.
A more conservative approach to investing means you’ll take fewer risks. So, typically women are likely to earn less from their investments when compared to the earnings men are likely to generate over the same period. But how many women do you know that are happy to be lumped in with ‘typical’? We certainly don’t meet many!
At Imak, it’s not about the typical woman; it’s about you. Before we get to work, we park biases and generalisations at the door. We work for you and only you. Our advisors all know the industry and how to get the best for you. You’re free to choose whichever adviser feels like the best fit.
Dina Buelow is one of our most experienced advisers. She regularly stands out as one of the most accomplished women in the finance and insurance industry. Dina grew up in Milwaukee and worked around the world for innovation-led companies such as GE and others in the Netherlands. She is an Authorised Financial Adviser and holds an MBA. She puts people at ease straight away with her considered approach and quick mind.
One of our clients recently said, “As soon as I met Dina, I felt much better about planning my future. She knew her stuff and made it easy for me to ask questions without feeling foolish. She understood my priorities without me having to explain or justify myself. I know any Imak adviser would be the same. Still, it was so nice to have the choice of talking to a woman about something as personal as my finances.”
On International Women’s day, you can bet the incredible women in the Imak team will be stepping up and championing fellow women. But every other day, we’re doing the same. We’re here to make sure everyone can set themselves up and make the best financial decisions.
