A greater number of women than men can be classed as non-advice users, a study from CoreData has revealed.

The data from a poll of 425 females and 445 males claimed there was a small gender divide when it came to taking advice. The report claimed 48.9 per cent of women have never used an adviser, compared with 34.6 per cent of men. While 26 per cent of men can be deemed as intermittent users, the figure for women was 16.2 per cent.
The study said: “Popular stereotyping may suggest that men tend to be more engaged with their financial affairs and these figures may go some way to help perpetuate this belief.” Assessing take-up of advice, the research found one in five women can be classified as advised compared with more than one in three men The research said: “The retail distribution review may not result in an increased take-up of advisers immediately, but the hope is that greater transparency in relation to advice should help to improve consumers being less wary of financial professionals.
“Unfortunately, historically the UK has been home to a number of mis-selling scandals and other CoreData research studies have indicated that mistrust of industry professionals is regrettably rife.” Karen Vidler, managing director of Kent-based AV Trinity, said: “We do not see a gender divide among our clients. We do find many clients seem to be more comfortable with a female adviser. Some of that is because the clients seem to open up more to a woman.
“Financial advisers are only as good as the information they can get from their clients.”срочный займ на карту займ без отказа отзывыбыстрый займ спбзайм наличными срочно
