Young women active in financial management, says report

Young Chinese women are more active in financial management than their male counterparts and are more willing to take investment risks, said a recent report.

The report, published by Talicai.com, a website launched in 2012 to provide financial management services for women, based its findings on responses from thousands of urban women aged between 22 and 45 via online questionnaires, telephone and face-to-face interviews. The specific sample of the survey is not available.

The survey found that Chinese women are not afraid of investment risks, and the younger they are, the more active they are in investments. About one-third of the respondents were stock investors, while about 60 percent were also investors in equity funds.
