Why Women Investors Outperform Men

Mar 20, 2026

To celebrate Women’s Day, Nick is joined by his colleague and financial advisor Jen Killilea to explore why women investors often outperform men, drawing on insights from a major Fidelity study. They highlight the behavioral advantages many women bring to investing and why those traits can lead to stronger long-term results. You’ll also hear about the unique financial challenges women face, from longer life expectancy and wage gaps to caregiving interruptions and healthcare and long-term care costs.

Here’s what we discuss in this episode:

🧠 Investing Psychology: Behavior drives long-term outcomes

⏳ Patience Wins: Staying the course beats frequent trading

📉 Less Trading: Fewer moves can lead to better results

🏥 Healthcare Planning: Longer lives require deeper planning

📚 Financial Education: Simple guidance builds confidence
