Wealth and Challenges
Women now make up a greater part of the investing community than ever before. It is estimated that women control more than $2.2 trillion in personal financial assets and hold an increasingly higher number of leadership positions.
Adding to that, women tend to have a broader and deeper social network and healthier habits, which partially explains why the average life expectancy of women is 5.6 years higher than for men.
Despite this increasing importance, at some point women will be faced with challenges such as:
- Confidence to invest
- Making financial/career sacrifices
- Unexpected inheritances
- Childcare and Eldercare
- Wage gaps
- Talking about money with partner
- Potential for higher healthcare costs
One or more of these factors have the potential to put women at a considerable disadvantage leading to possible future financial uncertainty and anxiety.
