Women in Wealth Management
An extraordinary initiative for women interested in a career in wealth and asset management
Our Mission
Led by successful and celebrated women leaders in the industry, the mission of Women in Wealth Management is to create awareness , educate, and support women in the wealth and asset management industry.
Creating Awareness
- Often, women are not aware of the wide range of career opportunities offered within the industry. We shine a spotlight on a multitude of roles that seek unique, specialized skill sets, including some of the lesser-known areas that help this industry operate and thrive.
- We want women to experience the rewards of the industry. We are also on a mission to clear up any misconceptions! The fact is, wealth management professionals help people plan and save to meet their financial goals and prepare for the future. It really is a noble profession.
Educating
- Women in Wealth Management continually posts fresh content—white papers, blogs, podcasts and articles—all targeted specifically to women who are interested in learning more about wealth management, and perhaps, will pursue a career in this rewarding industry.
Supporting
- Women in Wealth Management provides an enriching mentorship program that matches college women mentees with dedicated industry professionals who are committed to informing, guiding and supporting their students. Mentees tell us they appreciate the focus on their unique priorities, the resources we provide, and the resume, LinkedIn and the interview preparedness they receive from their Women in Wealth Management mentors.
- Once the course is completed, women are invited to join Cheryl Nash’s private Women In Wealth LinkedIn group, a network of incredible women who encourage and empower each other every day to succeed in this great industry.

Did You Know?
Women represent 51% of the population but only 16% of the financial advisor headcount, according to the U.S. Census Bureau
There is an uptick in female rookie advisors which could indicate a positive trend toward an even gender distribution.
