Major new research has revealed that men are more likely than women (43% versus 37%) to manage their own pensions, such as via a self-invested personal pension scheme (SIPP).

Women investors are more likely than men to hold their nerve during financial turmoil but are less likely than men to invest overall, according to a new study.

Women are, on average, working for nearly four additional years before exiting the labour market compared to the counterparts in the mid-nineties, new statistics from the ONS revealed this week.

 Women are struggling to save for later life with 1 in 4 having no pension pot and most saying they find it harder to save than men.

Nearly half of financial advisers have reported losing a female client after their partner has died, according to a report by platform and SIPP provider Fidelity.
