Are women truly not interested in making money, investing and the stock market? Is that why women are under-represented in the one area of finance in which they can bridge the financial gender gap right away?
Anna-Sophie Hartvigsen is an author, public speaker, and entrepreneur working to financially empower women. Her interest in finance was sparked when she started investing at the age of 19. However, she quickly realized that investing as a young woman can be a lonely experience. At the age of 22, she therefore founded Female Invest, which has helped more than 10.000 women (to date) getting started in investing. Female Invest is Denmark’s largest investment network for women, and the company is now expanding throughout Scandinavia.
In this talk, Anna explains why it is important to increase female participation and representation in financial markets, how this can be done, and what impact it will have on society. She shares her insights after co-founding Female Invest, as well as the two most important appointments to make, when getting started.
