This week our panel discusses a UBS report investigating the reasons behind the continuing gender gap and consider whether addressing that imbalance could fix a sluggish economy.
The UBS Future of Finance Forum on Crowd Capital-Raising

Women for women
We are in New York for the latest leg of the exhibition of Annie Leibovitz’s ‘Women: New Portraits’. Throughout this year UBS has presented ‘Women for Women’, a talks programme accompanying the exhibition tour that addresses topics of global relevance to women’s rights.
Risk horizon
We focus on potential political risk ahead for Europe: the likelihood of further successes for anti-establishment politics, the impact of more populism (and maybe more anti-EU sentiment) for the bloc and how investors can be best placed to exploit such turbulent times.
