What makes a financial product geared toward women? What do women want/need their financial products to do other than make them more money? Should they smell nice? Come with a Target gift card?


I think you print the forms on pink paper and put headers on the top like “Live. Laugh. Love.” Or “Yass Queen!”.

$700 billion is a ridiculous number.

Based on what has been said in the thread, the idea seems to be that men spend X amount per year in financial products and account for 90% of those sales.

Bringing them to 50-50 would mean new sales of Y amount to women.


Problem with a lot of this, IMHO, is that I think a lot of financial products are sold to family units and men are just the lead individual on those transactions.

My wife and I have a financial portfolio but she doesn’t know or care a whit about what’s in it, just what the dollar amount is at the end of the day.


In short, I think there are some logical fallacies at play because there may be a way to increase sales of financial products to women but $700m a year is a pie in the sky number. A lot of women are already being serviced by these products but aren’t the owner of record on them.
