Women Wealth & Wisdom
As an independent goal driven woman, I bristle a bit when hear that Financial Planning for women is “different” or needs to be “approached” differently.
Doesn't everyone want a Financial Advisor who
- Listens to hear what is important
- Creates a comprehensive plan focusing on the client's best interest
- Clearly communicates the different components including fees
- Confirms that the client's objectives have been addressed
- Cares and wants to know when your life changes
- Provides ongoing reviews and communication
- Is happy to revisit questions as often as needed
Yes, there are circumstances to take into consideration when planning for women. Statistically we live longer (5 years on average)
