Women drive a market revolution, yet wealth firms lag behind
Women are reshaping wealth management, yet remain underrepresented in investment decisions. As female investors gain financial power, wealth managers must adapt—or risk missing out on a trillion-dollar market.
Female entrepreneurs operate under investors’ radar
Investors are often men, and they usually invest in companies run by men. A vicious circle that the investment fund We Are Jane wants to break. Founded by serial entrepreneur Conny Vandendriessche (centre of the picture) and Gimv veterans Muriel Uytterhaegen (left) and Eline Talboom (right), they invest only in companies led by women, or where the shareholders or management are mostly women. A choice that is anything but philanthropy, because We Are Jane wants to achieve a nice return.
