This episode of The Standard Issue Podcast is sponsored by AJ Bell Money Matters,

helping women to feel good investing. No doubt you'll have heard us talk about the gender pay gap,

but did you note there's also a gender investment gap in the UK of £1.65 trillion.

So, after spending our whole working lives worse off the men through lack of pensions,

savings and investments, we're more likely to be worse off in retirement too. AJ Bell think

women need to talk more openly about money. It shouldn't be embarrassing or confusing and I agree.

The AJ Bell Money Matters campaign was founded in 2021 and offers a range of educational material,

including in-person events, podcasts, articles and more to help get women talking about money.

The AJ Bell Money Matters podcast has all the news, information and inspiring interviews you need

to take control of your financial future. Listen to it wherever you found this podcast. AJ Bell
