This year’s global International Women’s Day happens on Saturday, 8th March. Here at Wealth DFM we’re thrilled to be running our IWD digital campaign to celebrate the huge contributions of women who are helping to shape the future of wealth management here in the UK.
Our campaign starts here today and runs right through the weekend, finishing up next Monday, 10th March. Over the next few days, you can find lots of great personal stories, insights, and discussions via our special International Women’s Day section. We’ll have special podcasts too — featuring leading lights in our profession, giving a fascinating insight into what it’s really like out there for women in wealth management today. We hope you think so too!
From ground-breaking leaders to rising stars, we’re shining a spotlight on the talent, resilience, and innovation driving the industry forward.
Why diversity drives success
But this isn’t just talking about women for women. It’s for everyone. Diversity isn’t just a buzzword; it’s a business superpower. Research shows that firms with diverse teams outperform their peers, make better decisions, and foster stronger client relationships. By championing inclusion, we unlock fresh perspectives and create a more dynamic, forward-thinking profession.
Closing the gender investment gap
And it’s not just about the inner workings of the profession either — there’s plenty of work to do for consumers too. The gender gap in investing persists, with women seemingly less likely to invest and more likely to face long-term financial insecurity.
Empowering the next generation
We also need to inspire the next generation into a rewarding career in wealth management. Encouraging young women — and men — to see wealth management as an exciting, impactful career choice is key to building a stronger, more representative sector.
#AccelerateAction
Join us as we celebrate achievements, spark conversations, and, most importantly, we hope we can do our bit to drive meaningful change. Let’s take inspiration from this year’s International Women’s Day theme, #AccelerateAction, and work together to create lasting impact. It’s for everyone’s benefit after all.
