About the event
The FMA is hosting a panel event on financial wellbeing for women in celebration of International Women’s Day 2023, designed to inspire women towards financial empowerment.
It’s now easier than ever to invest, but women still lag behind men in many financial wellbeing indicators like participation, confidence and self-rated knowledge.
FMA’s research released last year that showed that investors are still more likely to be male, and women, on average, will retire with 20% less than men.
Our event is designed to bring together women of all ages who are interested in their financial wellbeing and inspire better financial outcomes for women.
Hosted by Chief Executive Samantha Barrass, the panel will feature special guests:
- Frances Cook @francescooknz
- Mary Holm
- Te Kahukura Boynton @maorimillionaire
- Sarah Kelsey @theoneupproject
A light lunch will be served.

A relative newcomer to the world of investing, Sarah began making waves in April 2020 hosting The OneUp Project podcast. Here she aims to open conversations around money matters, and get young people excited about sorting out what she refers to as, “the traditionally boring stuff.”
