“…Although we contacted 803 financial professionals, including more than 90 females, only males responded. Studies show that males constitute a disproportionate percentage of financial professionals in the investment industry (Newlands and Ram, 2016;Sargis and Lutton, 2016). Women are under-represented in the most influential financial markets and industries, such as the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia (Newlands and Ram, 2016;Sargis and Lutton, 2016;Cooper et al, 2020).…”

PurposeFinancial professionals are increasingly important in the Indian financial system. Our study examines the association between the Big Five personality traits and Indian financial professionals' behavioral biases when making investment decisions.Design/methodology/approachAfter testing our questionnaire's reliability and validity, we used it to obtain the sample responses. We used multiple regression analysis and other statistical tools to identify the relationships between the Big Five personality traits and behavioral biases.FindingsOur findings reveal a high level of extraversion and conscientiousness, a moderate level of agreeableness and openness and a low neuroticism level among financial professionals. The results show a significant association between neuroticism, extraversion, openness and all behavioral biases except anchoring bias. The neuroticism trait has a statistically significant relationship with all behavioral biases examined, whereas agreeableness and conscientiousness traits lack a significant association with behavioral biases. The openness trait is associated with many emotional biases and cognitive heuristics, while the extraversion trait has a significantly positive relationship with availability bias.Research limitations/implicationsFuture researchers could analyze primary (survey) and secondary investor data from brokerage houses. Using a larger sample could provide more generalizable findings. Researchers could also consider other aspects of investment decision-making using various asset classes. Understanding financial professionals' personality traits and behavioral biases could help them develop strategies to suit client needs.Originality/valueThis study provides the first comprehensive examination of the association between personality traits and behavioral biases of Indian financial professionals.

“…In Nordic countries such as Norway, Finland, Sweden and Denmark, the percentage of female fund managers is in the low teens. On the higher end, between 20% and 30% of fund managers are female in countries like France, Portugal, Spain, Hong Kong and Singapore (Sargis and Pavlenko, 2016). The gender gap in finance can be considered to be costly for society; it has been argued by Barber and Odean (2001); and later by Stewart (2018) that women perform better in finance.…”

Purpose Finance is a male-dominated field of work. This study aims to understand if learning in finance follows the same pattern. Furthermore, the authors want to understand if foreign female students are subject to the same cultural norms and sorting mechanisms as their counterparts from the USA or Finland. Design/methodology/approach In the context of a capstone course, students of two well-known international business programs (one in the USA, the other in Finland) participate in a business simulation. The authors surveyed the students on their learning experience across different business functions. The authors collected 440 responses over five years. Findings A gender gap exists in learning finance. Females surveyed reported learning less (9%–15%) than males. However, foreign females reported learning more (11%–17%). Additionally, the authors find no gender gap in learning of other business functions (i.e. marketing and strategy). Foreign females seem to bypass traditional roles and sorting mechanisms. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first to document the moderating effect of foreignness on the gender gap in learning.
