Warren Buffett is like the Don Bradman of investing – he is arguably the best ever long-term investor.

To say that he invests like a girl is somewhat controversial, but the book of this name posits that many of the attributes which make him so successful are natural to women.

Firstly Buffett is naturally cautious, undertaking copious research and making decisions slowly, but once an investment is made, is happy to stick with it for the long term, able to calmly ignore short-term vicissitudes.

Buffett takes investment very seriously and while happy to take risks, seldom gambles.

He rarely strays away from areas he knows well and is comfortable to swim against the prevailing investment trend. These are all character traits women naturally display when investing.

The book's author, LouAnn Lofton​, suggests that it's all about controlling your emotions.

"Buffett has always said that it's temperament – not intellect – that makes you a great long-term investor. When you look at studies about how men and women invest, what you see is that women tend to naturally have this temperament that creates long-term investing success."

Researcher Meredith Jones points out that there are biological factors in women's favour. The interaction between the male hormone testosterone and the stress hormone cortisol coupled with the larger relative size of men's amygdala – a section of the brain that impacts emotional reactions – mean that men tend to have stronger reactions to stressful situations.

According to Jones, "women don't react as much externally. They may be more adept at ignoring market noise and maintaining conviction".

Studies conducted during the height of the global financial crisis in 2008 and 2009 highlight the difference in male and female reaction to stressful market situations.
