Women in Wealth 2024: Are you ready?

Today, 32% of the world’s wealth is held by women, and it’s thought that soon, they will be collectively responsible for $93trn– up from $77trn in 2020. But research by Oliver Wyman predicts that the finance industry is missing out on $700bn’s worth of revenue by ignoring women in wealth.

Questions your organisation should be asking today:

  • What does the growth in women’s wealth mean for businesses in practice?
  • How can my industry adapt to the transition?
  • Is my marketing approach fit for the future?

 

What’s even better than diversity? Inclusion

As marketers, we’re often guilty of grouping people into simplistic categories. Ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs) vs the middle class, Millennials vs Baby Boomers. But where once we could allow a two-dimensional persona to represent all UHNWIs (old white guy), happily, today’s society is very different. UHNWIs are young and old, of differing ethnicity and gender, in short, they’re a whole lot more diverse. To be truly inclusive, financial brands need to recognise that each individual wants, and deserves to be, represented. One-size-fits-all is no longer acceptable.
