"I am a very cautious investor. I do not get swayed by jumps
in numbers in the Sensex. I have recently bought Reliance Petro
IPO - primarily because I am confident about Mukesh Ambani's background
and as an administrator. Also, petroleum products are the future
stocks of our country. A lot of women have come to the forefront
in buying and selling stocks and just like me; they should not only
deal in stocks but should also be involved in Mutual Funds and Equity
Bonds." – Smriti Irani on Saas Bahu & Sensex.
The working population of the country is seeing a rise in the number
of women opting for jobs. Furthermore, this working women’s
population is not reduced to working in the lower cadre of the organization,
with many of them holding management posts earning 5 figure salaries
every month.
This new found affluence amongst the women has brought effect to
a growing number of women investors. Women are looking at mutual
funds, equities and the stock market with a new sense of purpose.
Where earlier all the money management was left to the husbands,
who invested in their name. Their involvement in their portfolio
was to the limit of signing the forms every other month.
This new found independence amongst the women has not gone unnoticed.
The woman investor brings her own character into play while making
important decisions. She is cautious but aware; she will look at
all the available options, weigh their risks and then take that
step forward. Her decisions are often sound and sure, often with
a long term perspective.
