Outstanding Female Investors

Although finance is a male-dominated profession, especially at the top. But now women have more opportunities in the finance industry, largely thanks to pioneering women in the field. They are usually willing to stand out, take risks, and refuse to accept a negative answer. The following 3 are female investors that I really like.

Muriel Siebert, founder of a stock brokerage company.
Muriel Siebert obtained an entry-level research position in the finance industry before graduating from college, eventually becoming a partner, and founded the stock brokerage firm Muriel Siebert & Co. in 1967.
During the registration process of Siebert's company at the New York Stock Exchange, she faced much rejection from men (who refused to provide guarantees for her application), making it difficult to secure financing to meet the exchange's expensive entry requirements. She persisted and her company ultimately became the first female-owned company on the NYSE.

Geraldine Weiss, investment advisor.
Known as the "Dividend Queen," she was one of the earliest women to gain fame in the financial world and prove that women can be successful investors. She learned about investing through reading, parental influence, studying business and finance in college.
Despite having expertise, no investment firm was interested in hiring Weiss for a position beyond a secretary. Facing rejection, she started her own investment newsletter in 1966, at the age of 40. To avoid further gender discrimination, Weiss's newsletter was signed "G. Weiss." It wasn't until 1977, after appearing as a popular guest on the PBS program "Wall Street Week with Louis Rukeyser" and achieving ongoing success, that she revealed her identity.
Weiss's value-oriented, dividend-focused stock selection strategy outperformed other newsletters' recommendations, even during weak markets, achieving above-average returns. She published the investment newsletter for 37 years, retiring in 2002. The newsletter still exists and continues to follow Weiss's strategy.

Mellody Hobson, CEO of an investment company.
Mellody Hobson is the co-CEO and president of Ariel Investments in Chicago, named one of the 100 most influential people globally in 2015 by Time magazine. Hobson also serves as the chairman of Starbucks and a director of JP Morgan, as well as a long-time board member of Estee Lauder and former chair of DreamWorks.
