Women and investing have been our global focus for a decade. Our new report shines a spotlight on the opportunities we see in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.

A third of the world’s total investable private wealth is now in women’s hands, their wealth is growing faster than that of men and female investors are projected to increase this share to 35% by 2025. We see a trend towards female empowerment with women wanting and taking control of their finances, and a move to support these efforts with information and education about financing and investing, especially with a trusted advisor.
