A new era of economic power

Wealth is about more than just numbers—it’s about the life you want to build and the impact you wish to make. Today, women are reaching new financial heights, driven by business leadership, career growth, and a clear vision for the future. This change recognizes that the growth of women's wealth is not just a statistic but a testament to resilience, innovation and their capacity to carve out a legacy infused with purpose.

What our latest research shows

A recent RBC Wealth Management survey reveals how women are closing traditional wealth gaps and taking control of their financial futures:

  • Building momentum: Millennial women are now outpacing men in wealth accumulation. This growth is driven by a dynamic mix of business ownership, executive roles, real estate and investments.
  • Prioritizing “inner wealth”: True wealth includes well-being. Women champion ‘inner wealth,’ the integration of personal wellbeing with financial success, and expect their advisors to integrate wellness conversations into wealth planning.
  •  Leading the great wealth transfer: Boomer women are assuming control of wealth through the $124 trillion Great Wealth Transfer, creating unprecedented economic influence ranging from philanthropy to intergenerational wealth transfer.

Defining wealth on your terms, at every age

While the path to wealth looks different for everyone, women across three generations are actively shaping their financial legacies:

Millennials
