Too many consumers don’t believe investing is for “people like them”. The FCA’s new consumer duty aims to trigger a change in industry culture and behaviour – but will it be the answer? https://t.co/mqSrFA51t3

“A women in her 20’s saving an extra 2% could buy herself a 5 year career break in her 30’s.”

Jackie Leiper, our Workplace Savings & Distribution Director joined @clivebull to discuss women’s retirement and the #GenderPensionGap on @LBC's Money Hour. https://t.co/ZTLOM6W6M2

Great article from Yes She Can partner, @sjpwealth, talking about some of the myths we’ve been busting through the project.

To address the gender pensions and investments gap, we have to get it on women’s radars by making it part of their networks and conversations.

[The Wisdom Council @wisdomcouncil]

Communicating clearly is more critical than ever with markets gyrating at a moment’s notice – but what does this really mean in practice?

We've pulled together our top tips for communicating with customers in a crisis – access the blog here: https://t.co/uQt7NXxeWy

One thing that came out strongly from our Yes She Can work, was that role models are important when trying to inspire action. So in honour of IWD, we have begun a series of content on our YSC pages, celebrating those who are fighting for better narratives for women.👏

Check out the second part of @InvestmentWeek's panel on the Yes She Can work where they discussed the opportunity that exists by getting more women engaged with the investment industry, and the importance of collaboration to get investing on their radars.

@d_mstephenson @Pension_Helen @sambrodbeck @wisdomcouncil ...and it’s up to us as an industry to change the narrative and to help people realise investing isn’t all Wolf of Wall Street and that it’s a way of achieving your goals and securing a better financial future for your and your family!

[Martha Webb @MarthaRWebb]

@d_mstephenson @Pension_Helen @sambrodbeck @wisdomcouncil As well as the quant, we also ran workshops with 00s of women around the UK- you’re right there’s a perception that investing is very very high risk (and how wants that with their hard earned money) but we found as opposed to being risk averse, women just take controlled risks...

[Martha Webb @MarthaRWebb]

Have always been confused how they can encourage people to begin trading in the same way they encourage them to buy a new outfit. What about topping up your pension?

[Katie Morley @KatieMorley_]

What on earth were these celebrities and their agents thinking? This is totally irresponsible & may well come back to bite them if their followers invest and lose thousands of pounds... https://t.co/QpjdMa7D45

Andrew Bailey, the FCA's CEO, stated that “the effectiveness of communication with consumers is…a test of culture”.

We agree, and feel that firms that don’t embed customers in their value assessment process are missing the point.
