7 Outstanding Female Investors – Finance News
Bangalore: Women have struggled a lot to be accepted in a mans world. This is especially true for women in the field of investment as this is a male-dominated domain. Still, women have proved that they can perform equally well, and at times, even better than men in investing. BusinessInsider has named the following women for having die-hard attitude in the investment sector
Geraldine Weiss - Investment Advisor
Weiss is ranked among the pioneers of female investors. She started small but like all humble beginnings, she grew slowly but steadily as an investor. She is also one among the very first successful women investors. Interested in investing from a very early age, she has come a long way to be accepted as a valid investment advisor. She recalls what recruiters would tell her, "It was a man's world and women need not apply." Undefeated by criticism, she started her very own investment newsletter - Investment Quality Trends, in the year 1966. Her gender caused her further troubles when she received a negative reply to her newsletter advertisement. It said, "I can't imagine myself ever takinginvestmentadvicefrom a woman. Unless you take your advice from a man."She heeded the advice of the late Bronte sisters and sort of disguised her name. She started publishing her articles under the name of "G. Weiss." People though it was a man writing and Weiss newsletter soared high. It was not before the mid 70s that she revealed her identity, that too after a successful track record. Her very famous value-based anddividend-oriented stock-pickingstrategy has such a good outlook that it performs well even in dismal markets. Though she is retired now, her brain-child still employs her renowned strategy.
