The article on MSN Money features insights from financial advisor Cathy Curtis on how women can build confidence in investing. Curtis emphasizes the importance of education, suggesting that women should start by learning the basics of investing through books, online resources, or financial courses. She advises women to invest in what they know, which can make the process less intimidating. Curtis also highlights the need for women to overcome the fear of making mistakes by starting small, perhaps with a robo-advisor or low-cost index funds, and gradually increasing their investment as they gain more confidence. She encourages women to take an active role in financial planning, not just leaving it to their partners, and to seek out female financial advisors if that makes them more comfortable. Additionally, Curtis stresses the importance of understanding one's risk tolerance and setting clear financial goals to guide investment decisions. The article concludes with a call for women to engage in financial discussions, join investment clubs, or find a mentor to further enhance their investment knowledge and confidence.
