The Women By UBS Club was created in 2016 by UBS female bankers to offer our female clients an exclusive professional network and give them the wealth management services and expertise they need to meet their personal and professional needs.

Over time, the program has evolved to include more clients and many professionals from a wide-range of different sectors.

Our commitment

Support female entrepreneurship and the role of women globally and address the UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 5: Gender Equality

UBS is going the extra mile globally, drawing on broader criteria such as those proposed by Dutch NGO Equileap which manages a database to help promote workplace gender equality.

Equileap's annual Gender Equality Global Report assesses the progress made by targeted companies on gender equality based on 19 criteria. The 2024 report, which analyzes gender diversity data from over 4,000 corporates and ranks the top 100, puts UBS in 19th place worldwide.

In 2019, UBS Global Wealth Management and Equileap jointly launched the UBS Global Gender Equality fund. By investing in an index of 100 global companies with the best gender equality indicators, UBS is able to promote financial products aligned with the 17 UN SDGs.

Did you know?

Women see long-term finances as very important. With a life expectancy of 85.7 years in 2023, women in France live longer than men (80 years). Increased life expectancy is accompanied by new financial challenges that need to be considered, particularly when it comes to retiring and managing one’s own finances.

There are many benefits to sharing financial decisions

Women who take part in long-term financial decisions not only increase their chances of financial security but are also more optimistic about the future.

The key benefits of sharing decisions

Women involved in long-term financial decisions agree (%)

We make fewer mistakes since both of us get involved

I feel more confident about our financial future

I am less worried about our finances

However, many women decide not to take part in long-term financial decisions

Women who let their partner take the lead have many reasons for doing so. However, the main reason is related to women's perception of how knowledgeable they are about finances.
