By 2025, women are expected to hold 60% of UK wealth. Could this shift be the key to addressing the gender imbalance in financial advice?

Yesterday I hosted a Wealth in Women's Hands lunch at JM Finn for private client professionals, discussing the changing financial landscape, the staggering £599 billion investment gap and how investing earlier can significantly impact your savings for retirement. By the time men and women reach retirement, there is typically a 35% gender gap in pension pot size and the key reasons for this include the gender pay gap and time out to raise a family. Interestingly, 53% of women take career breaks to raise children, compared with only 1% of men, and unsurprisingly, contributing to a pension during this time falls down the priority list. JM Finn have recently published an interesting report which highlights these issues and more. The report can be found here: https://lnkd.in/e9Q2JFxf Whilst there are no quick fixes, it is important to highlight the easy steps people can take to improve their financial circumstances. Please do get in touch if you would like to discuss any of the topics raised. #womeninwealth #investments #savings #retirement #wealthinwomenshands #changinglandscape #careerbreak
