As we stand on the precipice of a significant financial shift in our society—the great wealth
transfer—there has never been a more pressing time to address the gender gap in financial advising. An estimated $68 trillion will be passed down from baby boomers to younger generations over the next few decades, and studies show that women will inherit about 70% of this wealth.
Despite this, women currently comprise approximately 18% of financial advisors. The need for gender diversity in financial advising is not just a matter of equity; it is an essential component of meeting the evolving needs of clients, particularly women themselves.
At the Women’s Leadership Alliance, we’re passionate about revealing what we consider one of the best-kept secrets in the industry: a career in financial advising can be incredibly fulfilling, especially for women seeking purpose, flexibility, and long-term impact.
Whether you’re just starting out or considering a mid-career shift, this path holds exceptional potential. But representation matters—you can’t be what you can’t see. Join us as we educate, engage, and lead.
Together we can create positive industry change and empower women with greater choices when it comes to their own financial security.
Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to support programs that
foster nationwide advocacy,1:1 mentorships, university partnerships, student
scholarships, and community-building to attract and advance more women in the
financial advising profession.
