Welcome to your New Community

We’re The SWI Community.

A movement for money-confidence, equality, and collective strength.

You juggle a lot! Build a career, raise a family, keep a household running, and support the people around you. But the financial system? It wasn’t built with you in mind.

Too often, women step out of work for childcare, take part-time roles, or face career breaks that cut into earnings and pensions. Even without kids, the barriers are real: less confidence with investing, fewer role models, and systems that don’t play fair.

The outcome is clear: women invest less, save less, and retire with far less wealth.
That ends here.

SWIC is here to give you knowledge, confidence, and a safe place to learn how investing really works. Not by risking your money, but by showing you step by step how smart investment decisions are made, so you can build your own future on your own terms.

Why Women Need Change

Women are ambitious, capable, and doing it all. Yet we’re still underrepresented in finance and investing. The numbers say it all:

Pound Icon

£678 billion

The size of the gender investment gap in the UK, and it’s still growing.

Scale Icon

43% of women

don’t hold any investments, compared to 33% of men.

Confidence Icon

Only 16%

of women feel confident choosing investments.

Older Women Icon

Women over 50

are the least likely to invest.

Money gives you options: to help the people you love, to walk away, to build something new. When you don’t invest, you don’t just lose money. You lose agency.

Why It Matters

Money isn’t just about numbers. It’s about agency.

When you understand investing, you negotiate better. You can walk away from what doesn’t serve you. You raise financially confident kids. You invest back into your community.
