Sylvia Kwan, CFA, CAIA, is the Chief Investment Officer for Ellevest, the experts in building and managing women’s wealth. In this episode we discuss Ellevest and the groundbreaking work they have been doing for over a decade to help thousands of women grow their wealth.
A few key takeaways
🔸 The data shows that women are underinvested compared to men - which is one of the many reason Ellevest focuses on women.
🔸 Women are not set up for success unless they investing - this is what we call the gender investing gap.
🔸 The financial industry was built by men for men by default. There was a study that surveyed a number of asset managers and asked who they built products for and 86% said men.
🔸 Investing is often a means to achieve a specific goal (pay for college, retirement, buy a home etc)
🔸 Ellevest is an RIA - they help women build and manage wealth. They offer financial planning and wealth management in addition to investing. They also have a divorce package and planning for inheritance package.
🔸 What is different about Ellevest’s portfolios is their goals based approach.
🔸 The concept of investing can feel overwhelming and intimidating but Ellevest has built a platform that makes it approachable.
