International Women's Day: March 8 is all about female investors

Lecture programme for women at the Frankfurt Stock Exchange / Worldwide Opening Bell at the start of trading

Together with other Frankfurt-based institutions, Deutsche Börse is organising an extensive programme to promote financial literacy for women on International Women's Day (8 March).

At the beginning of the trading day, Deutsche Börse participates in a global event of the "Women in ETF" initiative, during which bells are rung on numerous stock exchanges around the world at the start or close of trading. During a network breakfast on the trading floor, Claire Peel, CFO of the DWS Group, will give a keynote address on the motto of this year's event: "Think equal, build smart, innovate for change". This refers to the 2019 United Nations Women Campaign.

Afterwards, several lectures for female investors will take place in the stock exchange building. These include topics such as investing with ETFs, connecting sustainability and investing, and how to avoid widespread mistakes in stock trading. Deutsche Börse will also give a look behind the scenes of the stock exchange and explain how trading works.

Further information on the day and how to register for the Opening Bell is online at boerse-frankfurt.de/weltfrauentag.
