The FWA Women Empowered Impact (WEimpact) pillar, is pleased to host a Dynamic Huddle panel to discuss our journeys towards financial independence in various life stages and tools to help achieve them.

Achieving financial freedom and confidence may be new year goals for many as we begin 2023. While the definition of financial independence varies with individual aspirations and life stages, the common question remains: how do we get there? The FWA WEimpact Financial Literacy Report 2021 noted that the lack of financial education and experience were among the top cited reasons why women are not actively involved in household investment or saving decisions. With the backdrop of current market volatility, it is therefore imperative to understand the tools available to help us confidently navigate our investing journey towards financial independence.

In this session, join us to hear from our speakers on the basics of investing, options available to us and empower our journey towards financial freedom.
