The following is an excerpt from Equities.com:

When it comes to gender equality, few playing fields are as notoriously imbalanced than the personal finance industry. While there has been some encouraging progress made and better recognition of the issue in recent years, dispelling the misconception that men are just somehow innately better at understanding and managing money than women is still going to be an uphill battle.

A key component in reversing that notion is by empowering women, both on the institutional front as well as at the retail level, to take a more active role in making financial decisions—especially when it comes to their own investment portfolios. That’s the whole idea behind DyMynd. Founded by veteran trader and investor Carolyn Leonard, experienced venture capitalist Tomer Yogev and Chief Strategy Officer Monika Black, PhD, DyMynd’s vision is to revolutionize the financial industry by helping women to feel financially empowered.

Equities.com contributor Silvia Davi had the opportunity to catch up with Leonard to discuss financial empowerment, overcoming historical challenges and social gender investing norms, as well as DyMynd’s unique approach to the market.
