Podcast #112 | Mind the gap: empowering women investors with Barclays' Clare Francis for #IWD2025

IFA Talk

In honour of last Saturday’s International Women's Day, IFA Magazine is excited to share this special edition of our weekly podcast, IFA Talk, focusing on strategies to bridge the gender investing gap.

Recent data from Barclays Smart Investor indicates that women are disproportionately at risk of falling through the "advice gap" when it comes to investing.

In this episode, hosts Sue and Meg are joined by Clare Francis, Director of Savings and Investments at Barclays. Clare shares her unique journey from journalism to finance and delves into the findings of Barclays' latest research on female investment trends.

Tune in to gain valuable insights on empowering women in the financial landscape and practical steps to promote gender parity in investing.
