Obermeyer Wood Investment Counsel, LLLP’s Post

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
