High-net-worth women report a number of barriers when it comes to receiving financial advice. They feel frustrated, like there are unnecessary obstacles that get in their way and increased scrutiny. Some even report feeling as though they're treated differently to men, they've been patronised, sometimes not listened to, and pushed out of the conversation. These biases result in a lack of trust between women and the advice industry.
