Women shouldn’t be left out of the financial equation, as females will control 60% of the nation’s wealth by 2010. Women’s Only Financial focuses on relationships, education and trust to empower women with financial security and peace of mind.

Men and women have different investing strategies, and in a man’s world, women are often left out of the financial equation.  However, by 2010, women will be in position to control 60% of the nation’s wealth, according to a study commissioned by Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America (Allianz).  The study found that more than half of women are eager to enhance their financial planning skills, but don’t know where to get started.

“We saw a need and a void in the women’s financial sector, and our solution is Women’s Only Financial,” said Steve Hoover, president of Wealth Partners Corporation and registered investment advisor. “The fact is that women think differently about money than men, and we tailor resources and investment strategies to cater to unique female needs.”

Women’s Only Financial is a new division of Leawood, Kan., based Wealth Partners Corporation that deals exclusively with single, divorced and widowed female investors, as well as female business owners.  Women’s Only Financial writes women into financial decision-making and places the reigns in the hands of female investors.

“Clearly, women want to feel secure and capable about preparing their own financial future,” said Hoover.  “Women’s Only Financial empowers women to make competent, informed decisions about their finances.”

Women’s Only Financial offers female-oriented resources to help educate women about investment strategies, such as one-on-one coaching sessions, educational seminars and free reports with relevant information for female-only investors.  Women’s Only Financial welcomes open conversations and questions regarding all aspects of planning an investment strategy.

“Women can no longer afford to be hesitant about involvement in financial planning,” said Hoover.  “Maintaining focus on personal relationships, education and trust are paramount, and women deserve to not only understand, but have peace of mind about their financial future.”

For women, relying on a fairy tale ending is an unrealistic, irresponsible financial plan.

“There is no white knight coming to secure a woman’s financial future,” said Hoover.  “Women’s Only Financial has the resources necessary for women to become active, capable and decisive investors.”

Women’s Only Financial is a new branch of Wealth Partners Corporation, based in Leawood, Kan.  Women’s Only Financial deals exclusively with female investors, and is focused on educating, empowering and coaching women to make competent financial decisions.  By taking a women-only approach to investing, Women’s Only Financial customizes investment strategies that manage both finances and emotional concerns about investing.

Steve Hoover, based on 13 years in the financial industry, believes that each investor is unique and that no single investment account is right for everyone.  Steve’s areas of expertise include financial planning, income planning and money management.  He also has extensive experience in asset allocation, retirement planning and asset preservation.  Steve was voted by his clients as a Kansas City Magazine FIVE STAR Best in Client Satisfaction financial advisor in 2007, 2008 & 2009.
