Women's Wealth

A tailored approach to financial planning

As life expectancy increases, women in many countries are likely to live into their nineties. In response, women need to focus more than ever on their long-term financial needs, such as planning for retirement, long-term care and insurance.

Our research shows that women who participate in long-term financial decisions not only increase their chances of financial security but feel more positive about the future.

Make a fresh start. Together, we’ll help you put the right financial plan in place.

Women Series

UBS Women Forum

With the aim to support women to achieve greater financial well-being, we're delighted to share with you a series of live online events, podcasts, articles and special guest features on getting the most from your life and wealth.

Did you know?

Our research1 revealed that many women delegate long-term financial decisions – such as investments, pensions and insurance – to their spouses when they get married. That’s risky. As life moves on, different circumstances and events can force women to take control of their finances – when they’re least prepared to do so.

But it’s a different story for women who share decisions with their partners about long-term finances. They feel confident about the future and their money today, and they’re better prepared for whatever might happen tomorrow.

Life events

Few life journeys are neatly mapped out. More often, life presents us with forks in the road and detours. We take on these challenges because they enrich our lives – even if some of them are less welcome than others. But one thing remains true: a long-term asset development plan that safeguards your wealth will prepare you for many of life’s twists and turns.

Whatever phase of life you’re in, know what to keep in mind when it comes to your finances. Click on the life events below to find out more.

Gender Equality

Supporting gender equality

We’re committed to the UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 5 to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls. The World Economic Forum’s research shows that it will take up to 108 years to close the general gender gap, compared to 100 years in last year's report.3 One way we can support this change is through gender-lens wealth: mobilizing private wealth towards gender equality.

How does it work? People invest in companies that treat and represent their female staff equally, organisations that support women and girls, and female-led businesses with diverse teams. There's also evidence that companies operating in this way are well placed to succeed. What if you could help empower women when you invest?
