In our podcast series with Veronika Lammer, we have so far dealt with the topics How to get more women into financial marketsand How to enter the financial markets. This time we are diving deeper into the topic of investing and discuss with her what funds are.

Veronika has been dealing with capital market developments and market research as financial analyst for many years. Veronika also was a portfolio manager for a long time.

She is also a member of the Fondsfrauen, a network that offers workshops to women’s networks free of charge.

If you want to host such a workshop for your group of interested women, please get in touch with Veronika. For the future, the Fondsfrauen are also planning video formats that can be made available to a wider audience.

Women are still underrepresented in the financial markets. We discussed the reasons for this in our last podcast with Veronika Lammer, who is a financial markets expert.

This podcast is now about how women (and of course men) can overcome their resentment to invest in the financial markets and how best to just get started. “Be brave, be curious and just do it!” Veronika says. She has been dealing with capital market developments and market research as financial analyst for many years. Veronika also was a portfolio manager for a long time.

Women are still underrepresented on the financial markets. We know that there are many reasons for this. Among other things, it is due to the fact that financial transactions are portrayed as “shady”, “dubious” and “risky” – something, women do not want to be associated with. But also because many women outsource their finances to their male partners. “A man is not a financial plan,” says Veronika Lammer from RBI’s Markets & Investment Banking Division.

In our podcast, she talks about the topic “women and the financial markets”. Veronika has been dealing with capital market developments and market research as financial analyst for many years. She also was a portfolio manager for a long time. “It is a pity that women are often hesitant to take their financial matters into their own hands,” she says.
