A state-of-the-nation report on the barriers to women investing
As women, we live longer and earn less than men. We commit time away from our careers for our families, raising children or caring for aging or sick relatives. We often make these choices because we want to and it is what needs to be done. However, few of us realise the impact of our decision on our financial power. Only by understanding how the choices we make every day influence our financial wellbeing can we begin to define what must be done.
The research underlying this White Paper was carried out via an online survey developed by CoreData, in conjunction with Fidelity International. The survey was sent to consumers with a minimum of $20,000 in investable assets outside of super. The survey had a total of 1,222 respondents, including 815 females and 407 males.
