JSE She Invests 2024: Empowering Women To Invest For A Prosperous Future
JSE She Invests 2024: Empowering Women To Invest For A Prosperous Future. All roads lead to the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) on 17 August for the seventh edition of the annual #JSESheInvests event, a distinctive investment and empowerment initiative for women.
The event has been promoting financial literacy for seven successive years and continues to inspire women on their investment journey. This year’s event will focus on equipping women with the tools and knowledge to build prosperous investment portfolios and more importantly, investing for a prosperous tomorrow.
Studies show that women make over 70% of household buying decisions and feel a bigger sense of responsibility to spend their money responsibly. However, they often shy away from investments often due to lack of knowledge and confidence. Despite the wealth gap between men and women narrowing, many women still don’t feel adequately equipped to make the right decisions that will ensure financial growth and retirement protection.
In response to this and in an effort to bridge the investment gap, #JSESheInvests was initiated to create a holistic approach to make the investment landscape accessible for women. Ultimately, it was born out of a need to further women’s economic empowerment and broaden financial literacy.
The highly anticipated 2024 edition of #JSESheInvests will take place on Saturday, 17 August, with a stellar line-up of keynote speakers, informative panel discussions, engaging Q&A sessions and awesome prizes that will be up for grabs. The programme features prominent speakers including the JSE Group CEO, Leila Fourie; DJ, Producer and businesswoman, DJ Zinhle; Comedian and actress, Tumi Morake; various heads of department at the JSE representing SME as well as Capital Markets, and many more experts from various financial services fields.
