Younger Women Poised to Inherit Unprecedented Wealth, Though Facing Challenges in Financial Planning

Women are set to inherit $30 trillion in assets from baby boomers by 2030, representing the greatest intergenerational wealth transfer ever.

Women under 45 are more financially independent and savvy than older generations, often managing wealth themselves due to later marriages and more education.

Younger women tend to be more proactive in educating themselves on finances and seeking professional advice compared to men.

Studies show women investors tend to outperform men over time because they trade less and take a more long-term approach.

Women face challenges like lower lifetime earnings and longer lifespans, so starting financial planning early and continuing education are critical.
