For women, being rich is not a priority

When women are asked to imagine success, becoming extremely wealthy is not the first thing that comes to their minds. Instead, across countries and continents, mothers, daughters and wives are more concerned about financial security for their families.

That's one of the main findings of a survey of women and men ages 21 to 69 in the U.S., Britain, China and Brazil. While economic concerns among both sexes continue to decline, most respondents are still worried about just getting by.

Nearly 80% of women said they'd rather have more money than power or sex in their lives, according to the survey, which was backed by public relations firm FleishmanHillard and Hearst. Yet a deeper dive suggests the drive behind the money is for security as opposed to opulence.

The results have dramatic implications on not just women's ability to accrue wealth, but also on financial planners. Women are expected to earn $18 trillion in the U.S. This year -- 50% more than they earned five years ago. On a global level, by 2030, women will control two-thirds of our nation’s wealth. As taking smart risks with their money falls by the wayside in place of more practical bets like planning a family trip or going out to eat more, women are less likely to invest their money.

What's more is that women feel increasingly untrustworthy of financial institutions. Only about one-third of women surveyed in the U.S. Said they were loyal to one financial services company. That figured dropped to just 16% among women in the U.K. Also, more than half of women in the U.S., U.K. And China reported to be "overwhelmed" by the products and choices available today for financial services.

The cautious and overwhelmed attitude toward financial planners breeds an attitude of self-reliance, says Steve Kraus, senior vice president and chief insights officer of Ipsos MediaCT’s audience measurement group, the third-party organization that conducted the report's research. This leads women to believe that saving their money for a rainy day is better than taking it to a "big bad bank."

"It is men who are more likely to say that they want to start spending again, and it is men that are most likely to say that I am going to invest in the coming months," says Kraus. "There is not a lot of trust in financial brands right now, and we see growing numbers of women feel more self-reliant."
