Video: Engaging Women Investors program overview
In this short video, T. Rowe Price Insights Leader Emily Barczak explains why financial professionals should prioritize connecting with women and outlines the key benefits of the Engaging Women Investors program.
Why is that the case?
As the control of assets has shifted, women’s sentiments about the financial services industry have been slow to change. Feelings of alienation and distrust are commonly expressed by women and how they regard financial services. There is an opportunity to change these sentiments to something more positive and reflective of trust and understanding. T. Rowe Price conducted proprietary research with women investors to better understand their needs and their expectations of financial professionals. From this research, we’ve created an array of tools and resources for you to better understand and connect with your women investors and prospects.
Contact your T. Rowe Price sales consultant today to learn more about available these available tools and resources to help you enhance your conversations and relationships with women investors.
The building blocks of engagement
