Investing in Her: How Can We Empower Women and Girls to Invest?

Following on from International Women's Day, The Guild is proud to present a deep dive into this important topic.
About this Event

While women control an increasing share of global wealth, a significant "investment gap" remains. This panel brings together financial experts and industry leaders to discuss how we can dismantle the barriers preventing women and girls from growing their wealth through investing.

We are delighted to be welcoming

Vivienne Artz, CEO of the FTSE Women Leaders Review to present their latest report, which will share insights and progress on delivering gender balance across FTSE 350 and 50 of the largest private companies.
Tanya Tracey, CEO of Girls Are INvestors (GAIN) a charity that empowers and inspires the next generation of female investors.

Key Discussion Pillars

Financial Literacy & Confidence: Moving beyond basic saving to understanding market dynamics, risk management, and long-term wealth building.
Representation & Community: The power of "seeing it to be it." How mentorship and female-led investment circles create a safe space for learning and growth.
Accessibility through Technology: Leveraging fintech and micro-investing platforms to make the stock market less intimidating and more inclusive for younger generations.
The "Pink Tax" on Investing: Addressing the unique challenges women face, such as the gender pay gap and longer life expectancies, which make strategic investing a necessity rather than a luxury.

Why Everyone Should Attend This Event (including Male Allies)
While this event focuses on empowering women and girls, closing the investment gap requires a collective effort.

We are especially keen to invite men to join this conversation as allies, mentors, and partners.

Strategic investing is not a zero-sum game; when women grow their wealth, families are more secure, businesses are more innovative, and the global economy becomes more resilient. For male allies, this is an opportunity to:

* Champion inclusion within firms and investment communities.

* Mentor emerging female leaders and investment professionals.

* Challenge assumptions that shape how investing is marketed, discussed, and designed.

* Support equitable policies and practices that enable long-term wealth building for everyone.

Join us on the 23rd March 2026 as our panel of experts share their perspectives and practical insight.

Both Members and Non Members are welcome to join us for this key discussion. Members can book via the ticket link on the Guild website, non-members please book here.

Important Information: Tickets become non-refundable after March 9th. Additionally, photography will be taking place throughout the event for promotional purposes.
