Women are taking center stage as investors over the next decade. Today, women control a third of total US household investable assets—approximately $12 trillion. Over the next decade, this share will grow. The biggest cause of this shift will be demographics: as baby boomer men die, many will cede control of assets to their female spouses, who tend to be both younger and longer lived. By 2030, American women are expected to control much of the $30 trillion in investable assets that baby boomers will possess—a potential wealth transfer that approaches the annual GDP of the United States. At the same time, younger affluent women are becoming more financially savvy; for example, 30 percent more married women are making financial and investment decisions than five years ago.2
