Women hold the key to investing in a just, clean and sustainable future, but there’s a dearth in investment products tailored to this demographic, writes Moxie Future’s Jessica Robinson.
Women across the world face huge challenges when it comes to money. For many, there’s a pay gap, there’s an investing gap, and there’s a confidence gap.
But there’s good news. In recognising these challenges, we are seeing more and more women get behind the concept of ‘financial feminism’.
What is financial feminism? In a nutshell, it’s the belief in the financial equality of women. And certainly, we need financial feminism on many fronts—but in particular we really need it when it comes to investing. Because the stats are just shocking. For example, in the US, compared with the average single man, the average single woman’s net worth is three times smaller (according to a joint study from Merrill Lynch and Age Wave). Wow.
