Women’s investments outperformed men’s by four per cent in 2024, according to Revolut data from its trading customers.
New data from Revolut hints towards the beginning of a power shift as women investors saw significantly better returns than men in 2024.
While trends like ‘girl math’ started as a bit of lighthearted fun, there is a clear argument that they perpetuate negative stereotypes about young women’s spending and saving habits, as well as about their financial knowledge (or lack thereof).
But Revolut’s stats don’t fall in line with these ideas, instead highlighting that they are an underestimated demographic in the investment space. While women’s investment outperformed men last year, women also opened 31 per cent more accounts in 2024, than in the previous year.
When breaking Revolut’s stats down by age, women aged 45 to 54 performed best when compared to men of the same age, earning 1.2 per cent more profit. Investments made by Millennial women (25 to 34) came in closely behind, recording 0.9 per cent higher profits than their male counterparts, while investments by women aged 55 to 64 also performed strongly (with 0.7 per cent higher profits than same-aged men).
Revolut says that young women (18 to 24) were the ones to watch, while still recording one per cent less profit than men of the same age, the group was active in boosting the number of accounts held since the last year (32 per cent)
