"The boards of directors of stock market companies in 15 Latin American countries are male clubs," said a report by Women in the Stock Market. This situation is reflected in countries such as Mexico, since until the middle of this year, out of 13% of Mexicans, only 11% of the country's women owned shares, compared to 14% of men, according to a study by Finder. Mario Valle, who founded and is in charge of the Altered Ventures and Investor Camp, told Contxto that in general, both men and women do not exceed 1% of the Mexican population. Everything seems to indicate that Mexicans do not like to invest. However, Mario Valle explained that this is due to a cultural fear: "Many people believe that the stock market is full of people with questionable ethics. That is why it is important to make decisions and not depend on anyone else, you must be the person who manages your own investments". Everyone can invest With these figures in mind, Investor Camp, an education and training initiative for beginner investors in the stock market, was born. It was founded by Mario Valle and is supported by Mexico's Bolsa Institucional de Valores (BIVA). Its founder said that he has been investing for eight years without being an expert. He studied a degree in Communication and he has the firm belief that everyone can invest no matter what they do for a living or if they have little time. So, noticing that women are the ones who invest the least and at the same time are the most affected by the salary gap, and even retirement plans, they began to launch workshops exclusively for them. With this, Mario Valle said they can earn supplementary income to their jobs. Valle does not say this on the air, since in countries like Mexico there is still a gender gap that impacts women's salaries; they earn 14% less than men in the same position, according to the OECD. The instance also pointed out that less than half of women of working age work and that almost 60% have informal jobs, low social protection, high insecurity and low pay. These points were also highlighted by the founder of Investor Camp, which is why he remarked that women should invest. He also assured that several studies affirm that "women tend to be better stock market investors, but not all of them believe it". More women investors Investor Camp is also a reflection of what is happening, since on average less than 20% of its participants are women. However, more and more, female participation is being encouraged. In fact, some cases such as Adriana Aguirre, who had to stop working for a few months due to the pandemic and, when looking for a way to obtain profits for a retirement fund, came to Investor Camp and began to invest her business. Another case is Diana Delfin, who was diagnosed with progressive joint damage and looking for a remote job entered the investment world. Now, in addition to having a steady job, she has extra income in the stock market. Thus, after a year of investing, her earnings have increased by 37%. Both agree that perseverance, discipline and risk-taking are the keys to successful investments. On the other hand, in Mexico and throughout Latin America, more and more initiatives such as Investor Camp (their courses are for all Spanish speakers), brokers and financial institutions that offer products and services to invest easily are arriving. Such is the case of Trii, the Colombian fintech that recently opened a section for its users to invest in global companies. This is a clear example of platforms that allow anyone to invest. The stock market has proven to be an instrument, which above all, in the long term, has given results to be able to create wealth, protect patrimony, complement income in the short and medium term, even for retirement", concluded Mario Valle.
