Women are a powerful force in the economy. Women manage the finances in a majority of U.S. households, and 99% of women in high-earning households are involved with financial planning. And the next generation of women is poised to earn even more – millennials already have the largest percentage of female billionaires of any generation. Yet it’s important to acknowledge that women face a unique landscape when it comes to building wealth. Women still earn 82% of what men earn, a wage gap that has remained stubbornly stable over the last 20 years, and many women find finance and investing an intimidating boys club. It’s not all bad news – women also face distinct advantages when it comes to personal finance. Women still outlive men, allowing more time to take advantage of compounding interest while also resulting in more inheritances. And women make excellent, if not superior, investors – Fidelity Investments has found that women outperform men by 40 basis points with a more cautious buy-and-hold investing strategy that leads to better returns over time. We asked two of Obermeyer Wood’s industry-leading advisors to share their most important financial advice for women. #personalfinance #investing #financialliteracy #wealthmanagement https://lnkd.in/g2x2vTwj

In the US it is becoming increasingly more common for women to make just as much, or even more money than their spouse. Since women are making more, financial education is more important than ever. Women need to know how to manage their finances efficiently and effectively. I found this article to be super helpful, especially if you're someone who doesn’t know where to start. Here’s a section that really stood out to me: “Financial empowerment is not a measure of net worth. It really just means having the confidence — and skill set — to control your money versus letting your money control you. Women outlive men by an average of five years, which means they need their savings to last longer. Women need to become more financially empowered because things are going to happen along the road of life. You need to plan and be prepared for anything. To that end, MassMutual has developed the following seven recommendations for giving women the tools they need to take command of their financial future and establish financial empowerment.” Read more below: https://lnkd.in/e6v3TA7m

How are women investors faring? In the U.S., an increasing number of women report serving as primary breadwinner (43%), and about half report being in charge of the family finances, according to a recent survey by Allianz Life. In addition, more than half of women reported they are more financially savvy than their spouse or partner. At the same time, only 64% of women reported feeling financially secure, which is driving an increase in women who have a financial adviser, which is still relatively low at 33%. Of those, 77% report their adviser is their main source of financial information. Read more about women investors in our Gender Lens Investing 2024 at bit.ly/GLIQ.
