WealthManagerWeb.com hosted a Webinar on June 9 about Women in Wealth, based on the latest information from Wealth Manager’s Top Women in Wealth Survey and other research from Pew, the National Council for Research on Women and Hedge Fund Research (HFR). What we found may surprise you.
Wealth Manager’s Top Women in Wealth survey found that:
- Of the women who participated in the 2010 Top Women in Wealth Survey
- A whopping 82% were principals, owners or partners in their firms
- The majority, 60%, are registered investment advisors
- Of those, 70% are registered with the SEC rather than state registered
- The range in asset and clients is wide: from $13 million to $18.8 billion in assets under management (AUM), and from advising three to 1037 households

In some groups the preference for a woman as their banker was much higher–47% of blacks and Hispanics prefer a woman banker.
