Billionaire investor Warren Buffett said Saturday that women ought to have a higher profile in investing.
On the sidelines of the annual shareholders meeting of his Berkshire Hathaway empire in Omaha, Buffett made a surprise appearance at a gathering called Variant Perspectives, organized by a group of women financial professionals aiming to end the imbalance.
"It's long overdue," Buffet said of the goal.
"When someone calls me from the outside with an investment idea, I'm not going to ask what their sex is; it wouldn't make a difference," he added, stressing that: "The stock doesn't know who owns it."
Only three percent of investment funds in the United States are owned by women, according to Variant Perspectives.
