Investing can feel intimidating, especially if you’re just starting. But it doesn’t have to be complicated, and you don’t have to figure it out alone. That’s why we’re thrilled to share an article by Sassy Hong Kong featuring insights from the GJWHF$’s leadership team.
Questions like “Where do I begin?” or “Am I making the right decisions?” hold many of us back. However, It’s crucial for women to take that first step in investing to help close the gender investment gap – the disparity in investment participation and outcomes between men and women.
In this beginner-friendly guide from Sassy Hong Kong, the GJWHF$ team explains why there is a gender investment gap, provides simple strategies to get started and demystifies a few key terms you need to know when it comes to investing.

One Member’s Journey: From Beginner to Confident Investor
As one of our members recently shared in the GJWHF$ Whatsapp community:
“My entire investment journey started at last year’s Christmas Money Date. The only reason I was there was to meet new people. I didn’t have a clue what’s an ETF and I thought I was investing because I had bought health insurance. By the end of the Money Date I had only 1 goal – to make 1 investment by the end of June.
The sense of accountability I had from the Money Date pushed me to learn more. Over the next 6 months, I had a couple of GJWHF$ Money Dates, listened to loads of podcasts and read an introductory guide to investing. I was also closely following the sage advice in this WhatsApp chat, where I found all the best insights.
I’m proud to say that I failed to achieve my end-of-June goal...by 14 days. One year later, I have my investments automated, am dollar cost averaging my way into the market and am enjoying the compounding effect on my portfolio. This time last year, I wouldn’t have even understood what that sentence meant.
