More women on the Chinese mainland are taking center stage in managing wealth and making investment decisions in a field that has been traditionally dominated by men, the highest among their global peers, said a recent industry report.

 

近日的一份行业报告显示，越来越多中国内地的女性在财务管理和投资决策方面占据主导地位，比例高于世界其他地方的女性，这一领域传统上一直由男性主导。

 

Swiss bank UBS Group AG said in its Own Your Worth 2020 report on the wealth value of high net worth female individuals that globally about 58% of the women respondents allowed their spouse to take the lead in financial decisions.

 

The ratio is 54% in the US and 62% in the UK, while it is only 14% on the Chinese mainland.

 

More than 80% of the women respondents from the mainland were deeply involved in making decisions including managing daily expenses, payment and bills.

 

Experts said more money is pouring into the hands of women in China, mostly through inheritances in single-child families or via self-made wealth from emerging industries.

 

And women are more sensitive and rational in managing household finances and investment.

 

When selecting financial portfolios, women are good at risk-control and less interested in products with high leverage.
