Girls Just Wanna Have Fund$

Girls Just Wanna Have Fund$ is a non-profit community of women committed to owning their financial futures and helping others to do so, too.


It has been at the forefront of efforts to empower women's financial freedom through building communities and offering education in Hong Kong since its founding in 2019.

The Founders of the charity all met through The Women's Foundation's Mentoring Programme. 


Women face numerous challenges in building their wealth throughout their lives. We aspire to drive impactful and innovative community initiatives to create a world where women keep more of their wealth and provide themselves and their loved ones with more life choices and opportunities – because money is power!

COMMUNITY EVENT ON
PROPERTY INVESTMENT
(24 May 2023)

I was involved in the team that organised this event. 

Sold! 🏠

Thanks to Mandy Wong and Sally Chong from JLL for educating us on the key considerations when it comes to investing in property.


Due to popular demand, Mandy and Sally took us through the taxation, exchange rate, location, and rental yield factors for properties in Hong Kong, the UK, and Japan.

PRESENTATION TO AIA
(3 March 2023)

Being part of GJWHF$-GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUND$ has transformed my investment mindset.


I presented at my first panel on "Mindset 101" with the GJWHF$ charity to AIA employees last week.


The first step to any investment journey is having the right mindset.


Here are some top tips from this session:


📝 Make wealth planning a habit: set aside time each week to develop and review your financial goals.

 

📚 Information is power: find and securely store the passwords to all your finance-related accounts. Identify your costs/expenses and your net worth.


⚖️ Know how much you have to invest: you can start your investment journey with limited funds.


🤝 Use your networks: Start learning - connect with people and friends who are investing and learn from them. Also, join the GJWHF$ community!


👩🏽‍💻 Figure out your strategy: Everyone should work out an investment strategy based on their needs, risk appetite and other personal factors. Define what yours is.


I stand on the shoulders of giants who were my fellow panellists: Tanya Gan, Caroline C. Kracht (she/her), Sandra W., with special thanks to Gemma Tregenza, CFA.

Thanks to Nicole Schwartz, Bonnie Chan and Rita Lo from AIA for your support.
