Retire In Texas

Are Women Better Investors Than Men?


Listen Later

In this week's episode of Retire in Texas, host Darryl Lyons, CEO and Co-Founder of PAX Financial Group, explores a fascinating question supported by years of research: why do studies suggest that women often achieve different investing results than men?

Darryl unpacks two key reasons - overconfidence and impulsiveness - and how humility and patience can support more thoughtful, long-term decision-making. He shares personal stories, including how his own wife's encouragement shaped his career, and how engaging a spouse in financial decisions can foster stronger communication and perspective.

You'll also hear how legendary investors like Warren Buffett credit their success to temperament over intellect - and why that same mindset can help individuals stay grounded in their approach to investing and relationships.

Key highlights include:

Why studies show women earn ~2% higher annual returns than men.

How overconfidence and impulsive trading can hurt performance.

The importance of engaging your spouse in financial decisions.

Lessons from the Bush family, Warren Buffett, and real-life examples.

Biblical insight from Genesis 2:18 on partnership and harmony.
