Our research and reports provide key insights into the challenges, opportunities, trends and topics impacting women in the finance sector.
Financial institutions that effectively address the gender gap in wealth management and investment advising stand to significantly benefit from the impending wealth transfer.
Women’s wealth is growing rapidly in Canada, and with it comes the need for advisors who understand their priorities. And yet, only 15-20% of financial advisors are women. So why aren’t more women stepping into these roles?
A recent study by VersaFi explores the persistent gender equity challenges within the Canadian investment banking sector. The survey results demonstrate that systemic barriers remain, hindering women’s recruitment, retention, and advancement in the sector.
Attracting, retaining, and advancing women in finance has never been more urgent. Powering Progress for Women in the Finance Sector – Scorecard 2026, draws on an in-depth study of women across diverse roles which highlights both promising progress and persistent challenges for women in the sector.
