Barbara Stewart CFA will begin by presenting the high level findings of her global research to be released on International Women’s Day, 8 March 2018. In 2017, Barbara interviewed 50 accomplished women globally to uncover four dominant themes about smart women and risk-taking.

This presentation will focus on how the global finance culture is changing quickly as we are undergoing a radical shift in socialisation. Finance institutions around the world are rapidly realising that women represent a lucrative business opportunity and they are becoming today’s largest, most important, and most under-served target market. Barbara will offer her predictions on the global landscape based on current trends.
