Women and Money Roundtable: Personal Finance

Women invest 40% less than men and historically have been underserved by financial institutions. Beyond the investment gap, experts say that women are less likely to talk about their finances with their friends or even family members. The lack of conversations about money matters can mean that women feel less confident and are not availing opportunities to exchange ideas with others to build financial literacy over time.

In this monthly roundtable co-hosted by The XX Project, we’ll invite prominent women in the business community to talk openly about their financial journeys. Listen in and hear their biggest successes, how they turned challenges into opportunities, and what they’ve learned along the way.

This talk is for educational purposes only. It is not intended to be investment advice. When it comes to conversations about the stock market, past performance does not guarantee future results. The opinions of guest panelists are their own. For more information, see Public.com/disclosures.
