Podcast

In this episode, Betsy Westcott, Financial Wellness Coach joins BT's Rachael Dickinson to consider the changing face of wealth in Australia.

Recently, JBWere published a report entitled ‘The Growth of Women and Wealth’ which anticipates Australian women are set to inherit a significant portion of wealth in the coming decade. Together with the changing dynamics of how money is organised in households – where millennial women are often taking the lead – the question is “How will financial advisers support this changing face of wealth?”

If you're wondering how to reach millennial clients and engage more effectively with women, this episode is for you.
