WIN x UBS Private Wealth for Women
Join WIN and UBS to learn, network, and empower your financial future!
Please join us for an evening dedicated to managing your personal finances.
As women on Wall Street we often find that we are too busy focused on our clients portfolios that our own portfolios are lacking the attention they deserve. UBS will host PE WIN for a fireside chat around how we as female investors can take a more active stance in our financial lives. We will hear from top thought leaders on the state of public and private markets and how to tailor your investment portfolio to weather both and achieve your financial goals. Whether you are dealing with overconcentration or thinking about preparing for life after work our partners at UBS will guide us in the right direction.
You will leave feeling like managing your finances is not as burdensome as you may think. Yes it can seem like a mountain between taxes, portfolio construction, risk management etc but relying on the professionals to guide your decisions and be an educational resource will allow you to set yourself up on a path to success.
Statistic:
You are not alone, research shows that majority of women are still not taking an active role in their finances and this includes female breadwinners. Despite there being more female breadwinners than ever before 41% of them are still differing major financial decisions to their partner or family member.
Goal for the evening:
We want everyone who joined tonight to leave feeling like managing their finances is not as burdensome as you may think. Yes it can seem like a mountain between taxes, portfolio construction, risk management etc but relying on the professionals to guide your decisions and be an educational resource will allow you to set yourself up on a path to success.
