Women’s Wealth in figures – Assets Financial markets: only 15% of women take an interest

As part of the UBS Women’s Wealth Study Switzerland 2021, we asked women of different ages and levels of wealth about which financial topics matter to them.

The study showed that many women are interested in the major challenges facing society. For example, they are especially concerned about the impact of climate change. However, they are less worried about the performance of their investments, with only 15 percent of women surveyed stating an interest in financial and stock market developments.

The study also shows that many women are worried about their financial future and having enough money in old age. One way of building wealth and ensuring financial security in old age is to invest money for the long term. This is why it also makes sense to follow developments on the financial markets.

One place where financial market analyses can be found is our Chief Investment Office. Detailed stock market prices and global market data can also be found at “UBS Quotes”.

The concern of many women about the impact of climate change is also visible from their investment portfolio. The ESG criteria (Environmental, Social, Governance) with which sustainable investments can be aligned, can help you to take these needs into account.
