New Date! Women Who Invest - Part I - Save the date
2021-10-26 12:00 - 13:00 | Zoom
This event will now be taking place on November 24. Please register on the new event page.
One of the often cited sources of disparity between women and men, especially visible in retirement age, is the gender pension gap. Women are often under-invested compared to their male counterparts and, women within the financial industry are no exception!
Our busy lives and compliance restrictions might give us the impression that we don’t need to, or are not really allowed to invest our savings freely. But to the contrary, missing on decades of return is a like passing on a free lunch.
Inspired in part by Barbara Stewart’s research, and among others her latest RichThinking report “Hear me Roar – Smart women share investing success stories”, that we heard about during our International Women’s Day 2021 in March, we decided to reach out to women who can share personal investment advice, based on their own experience.
Female Leadership & Investments – International Women’s Day 2021

While we are confirming the availability of our first speaker, stay put for more information. You are, of course, welcome to sign up already now.
This event will take place virtually on Zoom, to allow for maximum flexibility, but the format will be casual to ensure a maximum level of interaction.
Please let us know if you would like to share your investment success stories. (Please note that this format will be reserved for sharing investment stories and strategies accessible for individual investors, based on personal experience and not for promoting products & services, or presenting strategies reserved for institutional investors).

This will be the seventh year we organise these lunches in smaller groups of 5-6 people to get to know each other better, to inspire and to be inspired. Before the pandemic we were pleased to see the number of participants steadily increase to reach close to 60 in the different groups in 2020.
Take the opportunity now to join a new group for 2022, to catch up and to get to know even more people in our industry.
Sign up for the networking lunches here no later than Friday 19 November. The new groups will be ready and communicated by 26 November.

On 26 November, you will find out what group you are part of. One person in each group will be responsible for arranging the first lunch, then you can take turns.
Where and When do we meet?

It’s entirely up to you! It is also entirely up to you how often you want to meet. Some groups are happy to meet each quarter, some once a year, and some only meet once.
(Please note that the date of the event on this page is only the deadline! it is not the date of your upcoming lunch)

What do we talk about?

You are there to get to know each other and build relations so you set the agenda! But if you discuss ideas that can help Kvinnokapital develop and be even more useful for its members, do let us know.

Sign up for the networking lunches here no later than November 19.

IWD 2022 - Women who invest (Part 1)
2022-03-08 12:00 - 13:00 | Zoom
We are pleased to keep up the tradition and hold our International Women’s Day lunch event in 2022. This year, we will hold it in 2 parts. The first part will take place virtually on March 8 at 12pm and the other part will take place in person at the end of the month (date to be confirmed).
The theme for this year’s event is Women who invest
As has now become tradition, Barbara Stewart will release the new edition of her research on March 8. She won’t be in Stockholm on that date and we will have the opportunity to listen to her and ask questions virtually. This year, her 12th global study in the Rich Thinking® series is entitled “Smart women: How do they make money?”
During 2021 Barbara conducted 53 interviews with women around the world in diverse professions. Her question this year? How do you make money, and what’s your personal business model?
There were five clear groupings of how women make their money and eight categories of personal business models. Personal business models are personal: How we develop our mindsets, our strategies, and our philosophies around work and money-making evolves over time as we evolve. Barbara will share a few inspiring approaches to money-making!
This year’s virtual event will be made available for people outside the network as well! And therefore, we will also provide a short overview of KvinnoKapital, what we are about, why we exist and who we are.

Lunch Walk & Talk September - "Kvinnofällan"
2022-09-30 12:00 - 13:00 | Djurgården, Strandvägen 56, Stockholm, 11531, Sweden
It’s time to resume our walking and talking, ladies!
This season, we’ve decided to dedicate each walk to a different theme and to start with, we will discuss “Kvinnofällan”*. Last time I used it in a conversation, asking someone to talk about it, the lady asked: “which one”?
Conclusion: we can all fall in a different one (or in several?!) and it may be nice to hear how some of us got out of them.
Hence the theme for the walk & talk:

What’s your Kvinnofälla?
How do you get out of one?
But we can discuss other things if you prefer

What’s the plan?
Please register so we can get hold of you on the day (and we know who to look for!)
You can join us either at Stureplan or by Djurgårdsbron.
We’ll leave Stureplan around 11:45 and we plan to be at Strandvägen 56 at 12:00. (please be on time, as we won’t be able to wait for long, so as not to derail timing for everyone else – we’ll provide a phone number to reach us on the day, should you get lost or want to catch up).
We’ll take a 45 minutes walk in Djurgården, starting at 12:00 from the seaside restaurant Strandvägen 56 (just off Djurgårdsbron in the direction of our walk) and walking along the north side of the canal, crossing the Folke Bernadottes Bro and coming back on the island side. Not everyone will have time to have lunch, but you are welcome to take a sandwich or a salad with you and we can stop to eat at the end.
If it rains too much, we’ll decide an alternative plan (lunch somewhere dry in town)
We look forward to seeing you there!
