Today we are talking to Maike Currie, the Investment Director for Fidelity International, a company working hard to help build better financial futures.
By the time a woman reaches her 50’s, it is expected that the gap in her pension pot versus that of her male counterpart will be around £100,000. Maike has been researching the impact of Covid-19 on women’s finances. Most furloughed employees were women with 1 in 4 women experiencing a fall in income in the last year. Stress levels and anxiety in women has also increased as they found themselves without childcare assistance, home schooling and holding on to a job. Maike joins us today to discuss her findings.
