Women’s reluctance to take risks with their money could be holding them back from bigger financial gains. According to research, women tend to outperform men by 40 basis points when it comes to investing. A poker and chess pro highlighted the importance of balancing risk in financial decisions, stating that not taking any risks is also a risk in itself.
