Follow The Money Or Get Left Behind, Women Are The Future Of Wealth
Follow The Money Or Get Left Behind, Women Are The Future Of Wealth Follow the money. It's a sentence that is often tossed around in boardrooms, investment pitches, and economic forecasts. But here's the twist, if you want to truly follow the money, you need to invest in women. The data shows that women-led businesses are more profitable, generate more revenue per dollar invested, and outperform across multiple key performance indicators (KPIs). But despite the data, women only receive a tiny fraction of global investment capital. The Funding Gap Despite the evidence that supports women outperforming, women receive less than two percent of venture capital funding. Women are underfunded, and it's because the system is skewed. Pitch meetings often reward familiarity and pattern matching over innovation and data, meaning investors invest in who they can relate with and what they know. This leaves qualified women founders shut out of the funding opportunities they need to grow their businesses. Women are launching businesses at record rates yet remain severely undercapitalized. This disconnect between business growth and financial backing isn't just unfair, economically it just doesn't make sense. We're not just holding women back; we are holding back the economy by not investing more in women led businesses. Proving that Women Outperform When They Get Capital A study by the Boston Consulting Group found that startups founded or co-founded by women generate 78 cents of revenue per dollar invested, compared to just 31 cents for male-founded startups. Although women receive less funding, these women-led startups delivered 10 percent more cumulative revenue over a five-year period. This highlights that women often lead with resilience, operational efficiency, and long-term vision, likely a result of the need to bootstrap and get things done on a shoestring budget. They grow their businesses with fewer resources and more strategy, resulting in stronger margins and higher returns. Why Every Investor Should Care It's not just venture capital firms that need to pay attention; every type of investor should care. From angel investors and crowdfunding platforms to corporate boards and banks, the opportunity to generate outsized returns by backing women-led businesses is available to everyone. Whether you're investing $1,000 or $1 million, where you invest your money matters. Even small shifts in funding can create massive ripple effects. It has been noted that when women have more money, they reinvest that money in their communities, create jobs, and scale more sustainable businesses. This isn't just about profit; it's about building stronger, more inclusive economies at every level, from local neighborhoods to global markets. The under-investment in women isn't just an equity issue; it's a missed financial opportunity. By continuing to overlook women entrepreneurs, investors are ignoring an entire market segment with proven potential to deliver high ROI. The Call to Action Investing in women isn't charity. It's an economic imperative. The data is in, and the results are undeniable: women-led businesses are high-performing, high-return opportunities. It's time to stop treating this as a feel-good initiative and start recognizing it for what it is which is a smart, strategic move for anyone serious about profit. If you're an investor, a fund manager, a board member, or even someone supporting businesses through crowdfunding, now is the time to audit your funding patterns. Are you putting your money where the growth is? Support funds and platforms that actively prioritize women-led ventures. Challenge the outdated biases still shaping financial decisions because building wealth with purpose means investing where the returns are strongest: in women. The bottom line is that diverse teams are more innovative, better at problem-solving, and more in tune with emerging market needs. When you exclude women from funding conversations, you're not playing it safe. You are leaving money on the table. If you want to follow the money, invest in women.

This Under-the-Radar Healthcare Stock Could Be a Solid Income Play
CVS Health Corporation (NYSE:CVS) is one of the best dividend stocks for a bear market.

CVS Health Corporation (NYSE:CVS) serves as a convenient healthcare and retail destination within communities. A row of shelves in a retail pharmacy, demonstrating the variety of drugs and over-the-counter products.

In recent years, it has expanded its presence in primary care and launched a subsidiary called Cordavis to focus on developing and marketing biosimilar drugs. Its broad reach across communities and wide range of services are key advantages. Lately, higher Medicare usage and increased post-pandemic healthcare costs have impacted the company's revenue and earnings growth. However, CVS Health Corporation (NYSE:CVS) remains profitable and maintains a solid cash position. In the most recent quarter, it reported $4.6 billion in operating cash flow. Looking ahead to 2025, the company has raised its full-year operating cash flow forecast from around $6.5 billion to approximately $7.0 billion.

Jerome Powell Blames Trump Tariffs For Inflation—Analyst Claps Back, Says Fed Is 'Overplaying' The Card
Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. The Federal Reserve bumped its median forecast for core inflation, which has left analysts divided as some believe that the central bank is overplaying the inflation story, while others say the impact of inflation cannot be overstated. What Happened: Despite acknowledging that inflation data was 'encouraging,' Jerome Powell noted during his press conference on Wednesday that the inflation median forecast has risen from 2.5% forecast in December, 2.8% in March, to 3.1% now. 'That's due to the effects of the tariffs.' Jeffrey Buchbinder, the chief equity strategist, and Jeffrey Roach, the chief economist at LPL Financial, said in their note that 'Inflation's importance to financial markets cannot be overstated.' Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — They explained, 'Higher inflation can constrain economic growth, tighten financial conditions, drive interest rates higher, and even restrain stock valuations,' adding that it also 'dampens the present value of future earnings and, historically, correlates with lower stock valuations.' However, Jamie Cox, the managing partner at Harris Financial Group, said, 'The Fed continues to overplay the inflation story and isn't paying attention to burgeoning demand weakness.' 'Concerns from the Fed around deteriorating economic conditions and rising inflation remain roughly balanced and potentially keeping Fed policy changes in the abyss for the foreseeable future,' said Charlie Ripley, senior investment strategist for Allianz Investment Management. Northlight Asset Management CIO, Chris Zaccarelli, on the other hand, explained that the Fed was waiting to see if tariffs increase inflation or the jobs market starts to falter, and whichever part of their dual mandate is impacted first will likely guide whichever direction they take, 'although the bias is still toward cutting rates (or at least keeping rates unchanged; not raising rates).' Meanwhile, Eric Teal, CIO at Commercia Bank, said that 'The economy is less rate sensitive, and we believe a significant amount of easing would be required to impact consumer behavior.'Why It Matters: Craig Shapiro, a macro strategist at Bear Traps Report, said in an X post after the conference that 'Powell wasn't as dovish as I would have thought.' He was skeptical of even two rate cuts by the end of the year, saying, 'Frankly it's not even clear to me that he (Powell)is a 2 cuts guy for 2025.'Read Next: Invest early in CancerVax's breakthrough tech aiming to disrupt a $231B market.
