March 8th is International Women’s Day. This year’s theme #EachforEqual is a call to everyone to do their part to create a more gender equal world. RBC Economics has put together an interesting article The Fruits of her Labour that outlines the gains women have made during the past four decades.

While recognizing the gains that have been made there is still work to do and opportunities to take advantage of. This article discusses How the skilled trades are winning over women.

The following articles highlight some of the challenges that our female clients face when we are planning and managing wealth:

• Women and health: Planning a legacy in the face of longevity discusses the importance for women in particular to consider the cost of health care as they age.

• Brain health and legacy: What you and your heirs need to know reviews that women have to consider their brain health when they are completing financial and estate planning.

We celebrate all the fantastic women in our lives!
