Why wealth is becoming more female?

Why wealth is becoming more female.

We created change to better serve all our female clients. Why? Women are a key factor in the global economy and are poised to add trillions to it in the future. Yet many women feel the financial services industry doesn’t reflect their values or meet their needs. That is why we are committed to co-creating the new face of wealth together with women. Our goal is to better serve women by providing expertise and best-in-class financial solutions for every stage in our clients' lives.

Why does it matter for you?

Why does it matter for you?

Women are more educated, more successful and more outspoken than ever, but they are leaving major decisions about finances to someone else. Our research shows almost 60% of women do not engage in the most important aspects of financial well-being: investing, insurance, retirement and long-term planning.* Are you already involved in your financial life? Not yet? Get financially confident and learn about finances.

What can we do together to change the world?

Why it’s best to be involved?

According to our research, women who share responsibilities for long-term financial planning are less stressed and more confident in their financial future. Also with both involved they report fewer mistakes made.* Find out why it pays to get involved now.

Funding gap
 

Female entrepreneurs, globally, receive less funding than their male counterparts.  

This results in a lack of equal opportunities to innovate and build successful companies.  We look in this report from our Chief Investment Office at the reasons behind this and illustrate how to narrow the funding gap.

Some of the striking statistics:

  • Less than 3% of global VC funding goes to companies with a female CEO
  • 86% of all VC funded businesses have no women in management positions
  • In the UK, for every £1 of VC investment in the UK, all-female founders receive less than 1p
