WHY WOMEN SHOULD BE FINANCIALLY SAVVY: The importance of a balance & diversified portfolio
- Women’s attitudes to financial planning and investments:
- Are women left in the dark? Do women leave the family’s financial well-being entirely in the hands of husbands and/or private bankers?
- Women are often business owners/self-employed entrepreneurs:
- How do we raise capital for our businesses? Are we aware of what the banks can do to support our businesses?
- How do we plan for our family’s financial well-being?
- Are we prepared for the down-turn in the economy (“saving for a rainy day”)? Do we have a diversified portfolio? How do we start to plan for retirement (or death) – to ensure that we and our family are well provided for?
- What is our relationship with our private banker? Do we have a wealth or financial advisor? How do we ensure we get the benefit of independent advice?
