Hi Femme thread also from my side! 
This is probably my first longer post here on the Forum, and that’s why I thought a small introduction of myself as an investor might also be in order 
My investment history goes back five years to the corona year 2020, when I decided to buy my first fund units. Looking back, one can say that’s where the spark for stock investing really ignited. Later that same year, I made my first stock picks, even though at that point I didn’t know much about stock investing. But you had to start somewhere 
Somehow I managed to turn a hobby that had become important to me into a job, and before my career at Inderes, I worked at Nordnet with Finnish private investors. At the same time, I became interested in company fundamentals (business, industry, and other similar factors), and that’s how the fundamental analysis bug bit me 
Nowadays, I work with the same topic here at Inderes as an analyst.
During my short investment history, I have noticed that for me, one of the most important things about this hobby is the community. Being able to spar, get peer support, and valuable lessons from other investors has been extremely important!
As @Marianne_Palmu previously stated, we women are still underrepresented in the stock market (at least for now). Namely, according to studies, the proportion of women stock investors has remained around one-third (12/2024: ~35%) over the last decade, even though the total number of stock investors has grown rapidly.
So there’s plenty of room for women in the stock market, meaning we need action! I strongly believe that social interaction, peer support, and the examples of other women are important for female investors and at the same time promote women’s interest in investing. We at Inderes intend to work towards this.
Hopefully, many women interested in investing, and especially stock investing, will find this thread!
