Ellevest Launches New Index and Research That Finds Women’s Financial Health Is at a 5-Year Low
Research shows that financial progress women have made post-pandemic is being undone, with 86% of women feeling financially unprepared for a recession.
Ellevest, the wealthtech company built by women for women, is marking the second annual Financial Wellness Day by unveiling new insights into women’s financial health. The data released comes from the first-of-its-kind Ellevest Women’s Financial Health Index (“EWFHI”) and the second annual Ellevest Financial Wellness Survey.
