It’s been illegal to pay women less than men since 1963. But the Gender Pay Gap is still a reality, full of glass ceilings and velcro floors. And yet, statistically, women make better investors. Women hedge fund managers outperform men by almost 6 percentage points. Women’s portfolios gain 1.4% more than men’s portfolios. That’s why Ameriprise thinks enough is enough. It’s time to get more women to start investing (and for more women to enter the financial profession). It’s time to close the Confidence Gap. Close the Pay Gap. Close the Wealth Gap.
