- Thirty-eight percent of the state's affluent are women - Fifty percent of Wisconsin's wealthy are self-made - Education matters: 71 percent hold at least a college degree
(firmenpresse) - MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN -- (Marketwired) -- 06/13/13 -- Today BMO Private Bank released the first in a series of studies examining the wealthy in Wisconsin (defined as those with investible assets of $1 million or more). The inaugural report revealed that women make up almost 40 percent of Wisconsin's high-net worth residents.
"It's encouraging to see that women make up such a large portion of Wisconsin's affluent residents," said Jason Stamm, Regional President, Northern States, BMO Private Bank. "However, this isn't surprising, given that studies indicate that women's wealth is increasing approximately eight percent a year and they're taking a leading role in household financial decisions."
Stamm added, "If the financial services industry is going to be effective in addressing the needs of women, we need to understand that women are looking for clear, honest, and relevant communication, as well as solutions that are specific to their life circumstances."
The study also revealed that half of Wisconsin's affluent are self-made, having made the majority of their wealth on their own. Stamm noted, "It's encouraging to see that there are so many self-made in the state. It speaks to Wisconsin's ability to create an environment in which hard work and determination are recognized and rewarded."
Other key findings from the study included:
