Purpose
Gender equality is crucial to us at 7IM. According to research by CEBR, 60% of UK wealth is expected to be in the hands of women, yet only 16% of Financial Advisers are female and only 7% of advisors have dedicated strategies in place to retain, attract and guide their female clients. This disparity needs to change, and we are committed to being part of that transformation. Our goal is to encourage more female talent into the Financial Services industry and provide them with the insight, opportunities, and support to succeed.
