Portfolios built for your needs

While many financial goals, such as saving for retirement, are universal, women face unique investment challenges related to how long they live, how they earn and how they spend. BlackRock has created portfolios that leverage proprietary technology for life cycle investing and adjust three specific inputs for women:

Income gap: On average, women earn $0.82 to every $1.00 a man makes¹
Earnings gap: 1 in 3 women are considering leaving the workplace²
Longevity: On average, women live more than 5 years longer than men³
