The Better Half?

WOMEN INVESTORS
Singaporean women, especially affluent ones, are increasingly taking charge of their own finances. Being generally more patient – and humble – than men, they may be more successful at the game after all.
As a young fund manager attending a company presentation, Jill Smith was asked a shocking question. The man sitting next to her queried, "Do you like knitting?" Ms Smith, who is today the managing director of Rothschild Asset Management Singapore, was partly amused, but on deeper analysis, such a question is disquieting. It bares the psyche of society – it was, and to a smaller extent still is, believed that it is not a woman’s place to handle matters of finance.

Financial independence among women is perhaps the single most important result of a better education, and men are no longer the sole breadwinner in a large number of Singapore households. According to the Ministry of Manpower, dual-income households jumped from 37% to 45% in the 10 years from 1991. Indeed, women form close to half of Singapore’s workforce: 44% in 2001, a 10% increase from 1991. Moreover, a growing number of women are joining the ranks of senior management, and the financial sector is filled with women. At Rothschild Asset Management, for instance, the entire fixed-income and currency teams in Singapore are staffed by women, albeit unintentionally.

But these women may not be representative of the majority and studies suggest that, generally, women are still not as adept at managing their own finances as men. Or at least, women think they’re not very good at it. According to a study conducted by US online discount brokerage Charles Schwab in 2000, men are more confident of their investing abilities than women. Of the 900 adults surveyed, 82% of the men said that they were confident of their capabilities, while only 52% of the women said the same. In another poll conducted by Oppenheimer, a US fund-management house, 66% of women surveyed said that investing is too complicated, compared with 44% of men. Experienced finance professionals feel that the situation is similar in Singapore. Leong Sze Hian, managing director of financial-planning outfit Dicken Pte Ltd, observes that Singaporean women in general appear to have less confidence in their investing abilities. It could be because men like to boast when asked about their investing abilities. What’s surprising is, local women investors tend to prefer a do-it-yourself approach to investments while fewer men take this route, Mr Leong says.

Still, one frequently encounters women who leave their finances in the hands of their husbands. "Most of my investments are left to my husband to handle. I have no idea what to invest in," sighs a middle-aged woman who holds a senior-management position in a local company. The sad truth may be that many women, no matter how intelligent or accomplished, could be clueless when it comes to planning their finances. In Hong Kong, Jardine Fleming Funds commissioned a survey recently on retirement planning. The study polled 500 men and women professionals on their retirement plans and whether they are investing sufficiently. The survey found that around 58% of women indicated that they had no idea how much they will need for retirement, and 60% felt that there was no need for any retirement planning. Indeed, Mr Leong feels that women are more indecisive when it comes to making a decision on their retirement planning. For instance, many women ask whether they should plan for retirement alone or include their spouse’s requirements. Others are unsure about whether they can rely on their children for financial support after retirement.

Among affluent women in Singapore, however, the desire to map out a financial future may be higher. Mr Leong observes that the associates at his firm are receiving more women clients than men these days. Seven out of 10 clients on average are women, a big jump from four out of 10 a decade ago. What’s more, women contribute about 80% of new funds brought in.


PEOPLE ALSO DO THIINK THAT WOEMN ARE PATIENT:HERES ANOTHER STORY:::


DUBAI — Women telephone operators are far better than their male counterparts. They are more patient, sympathetic, compassionate and responsible than their male colleagues.

For this reason, most of the companies in UAE prefer having female telephone operators. Also in most of the call centres, the ratio of women call agents is higher as compared to their male counterparts.

Khaleej Times talked to a few psychologists and industry professionals to examine their views on this subject. Some excerpts from the survey:

“Women call operators or nurses are generally more helpful as they are more sensitive to human pains or problems. This primarily because of their instinctive maternal instincts. Women call centre operators tend to give more time to their callers because women have more patience. They are also better listeners. They are also more perceptive of the emotional feelings of others. And, women are more expressive and are more skilled at sending and receiving nonverbal messages,” explained Sana Ejaz, a leading clinical psychologist from Pakistan. Maya Fleifel Sidani, clinical psychologist, Comprehensive Medical Centre, said: “This question is related to gender differences in attitude and behaviour. Women tend to be more efficient and more comfortable than men in team work, thus in guidance and referrals, whereas men tend to be more comfortable in independent tasks.”

Jean Narain, Training and Recruitment Manager at Buzz Contact Centre, said:

“Women are better than men in call centres because they are more compassionate and sympathetic. Also they are more mature and responsible. A small example of this is that we get a lot of college girls applying for a part time jobs in our call centre. They usually do this to boost their pocket money or help them with their college fees. Boys usually don’t do this because they don’t become as responsible as early as girls.”

The belief that women are better telephone operators or call centre agents than men is not shared by everyone. There are others who strongly believe that it’s the training that one gets which makes a woman or a man better than their counterparts at work.

“It all depends on the training. If both men and women have been trained equally well then they will be equally good. The gender doesn’t matter then,” explained Mohammad Akkad of Akkad Emy, specialising in training of call centre agents.

Sajjad Hameed, sales and business chief at Cupola Teleservices, said: “Sixty per cent of our teleservices employees are women and 40 per cent men. It’s a general conception that women make better telephone operators but I believe that with proper training both can be equally good and efficient.”
