And that means that you are taking an appropriate level of risk
And the vast majority of people, I'm talking 80% plus, just stick with the default.
So that's everybody, male and female.
I will say men are somewhat more likely to make an active choice.
So they're more engaged to the best of our knowledge and are more likely to make an active choice.
And when they make an active choice, they tend to make a higher risk choice rather than a lower risk choice.
So if you're put into the growth option and you've got the choice of
perhaps actively selecting your own Australian equity, some funds allow you to do that, or specific international exposure or whatever, or the conservative option, they're more likely to go for the higher risk options, which longer term, and sleep is a very long-term investment strategy for most people, tends to give you a better return.
And where women make an active choice, they tend to be more conservative than men.
Not more conservative as in they always go to the conservative option.
They're just less likely to make the more high risk option.
Yeah, that's really interesting.
When you look at it, so men are more likely to make the high risk option.
They're also far more likely to turn over their portfolios and change more frequently.
Yes, yes.
But the data says that tends to be a worse strategy over time.
So one of the reasons there is a perception that women are better investors on average, huge generalizations here, is because they tend not to be actively pursuing the best option all the time.
And because your data is always backward looking, right?
We always say past performance is not an indicator of future performance.
Even if you're a momentum trader, fine, that's a different scenario.
