Power in your hands to embrace the world of investments

WOMEN have traditionally taken a backseat with finances, and are often seen as less confident when managing their money - but times are changing.

When it comes to investing, data from finance app Revolut shows many are now powering ahead of men.

Those aged 45-54 performed particularly strongly against blokes in the same age group last year, in terms of seeing their investments generating higher returns.

The research found investments made by women aged 25-34 and 55-64 also recorded higher profits when compared with men in the same age group.

While younger women aged 18-25 recorded less profits than men in the same age group, this age group significantly boosted the number of trading accounts it held, Revolut said.
