Although the basics of good financial planning are the same for both men and women, there are certain lifestyle and economic conditions unique to women. Women tend to live longer than men and earn less on average than their male counterparts while taking on additional family responsibilities. With this being said, women are definitely becoming savvy, financially independent and more involved in the investment decision making process. 

With the help of Heather Hopkins, an IFA and director of Blink Consulting, and Sarie Davies, co-owner of the Wealth Counsel, listen as the trio discuss how women’s views of investing have changed over the years – and why it’s never not a good a time to invest offshore.
