Women are making extraordinary strides, from the expectations they defy, to the visions they pursue, to the barriers they break. Yet, UBS research shows that significant challenges remain when it comes to women's financial participation. At UBS, we want to be a part of the solution, helping women navigate their financial lives and claim their rightful seat at the money table.

Women’s History Month spotlight: Women and health

Your health impacts all aspects of your life and wealth. Yet research from around the world shows that women's healthcare is still significantly under-researched and under-funded. While women tend to live longer than men, data shows that the lack of research and investment can lead to greater challenges for women's longevity and health outcomes. Our new report, published ahead of International Women's Day and Women's History Month, explores how we can close the gender health gap and create a positive impact for women's well-being, their families and society as a whole. The findings also show how closing this gap can create better outcomes through innovation and investment.
