The insurance and personal finance profession is working together to improve women’s lifelong financial resilience and some of the root causes of women’s pension deficit.
Our Manifesto was supported by the Insuring Women’s Futures Market Task Force and published in January 2020, followed by a Covid-19 Update, and an Impact Report in 2021, highlighting its success and key actions being taken forward by a breadth of organisations. See About us for information about the programme and its current status.

Improve women’s engagement with their financial risks in life, helping particularly younger women to develop their risk awareness to best inform their financial futures.
