Amid the pandemic, a rising number of women are investing in high-risk assets like cryptocurrency and stocks

The crypto-queens and stock-stars of invest street

For the past eight months, the first thing that Belgaum based-banker Prakriti Goswami does in the morning, is open three-different websites to check which cryptocurrency is performing the best. If an interesting opportunity catches her eye, she immediately puts in her money.

In Noida, IT professional Samiksha Nigam’s day is not very different. While it may seem that these ladies are a part of the handful of women mildly interested in high risk investments, statistics indicate otherwise. Once considered to be “risk-averse” and “novices when it comes to finances”, women are no longer shying away from leaping into high-risk and highreturn asset investments, and latest numbers from leading crypto and stock investment platforms suggest that the past two years have seen an exponential rise of women investors in these asset classes. Right from reading and educating themselves to make calculated investments, to educating others about finance planning – women have made sure that money markets are no longer a male bastion.

WHILE IT IS EXPECTED OF WORKING WOMEN TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS AROUND FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE AND INVESTMENTS, YOU WILL BE SHOCKED TO KNOW THAT MANY HOMEMAKERS’ GROUPS HAVE THIS AS A PART OF THEIR GROUP CONVERSATIONS. FINANCIAL FREEDOM IS ADDICTIVE AND FOR GOOD NOW

— Dr Priya Agarwal, financial market professional and trainer with BSE
