WOMEN AS INVESTORS
Here's what we know:
- Women are living longer than ever - On average women live about 5 years longer than men do. What's more, fifty percent of married women over the age of sixty-five are outliving their husbands by a staggering fifteen years.
- Women have more money than ever - Women are among the top earners of Fortune 500 Companies.
- Women are taking control of their finances more than ever - Women represent nearly half of all investors with $100,000 or more in investable assets.
With this as the landscape, it's easy to see why so many women today are getting involved with investing - and enjoying the results.
