Everyone faces financial challenges at some point in their life. Women seem to have more problems than men do as they tend to live longer, have smaller pensions, and are faced with planning for long term care (about half of women over the age of 65 will need it). So what are they to do? How do they find a responsible, caring financial planner who will work with only their best interests in mind? Where do women go to find the care, respect, and honesty they deserve? Women & Co. is a good place to start. President and CEO Lisa Caputo, former press secretary to First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, took the helm of Women and Company in 2000. With a mission to motivate and educate women to take control of their financial future, Women and Company, with the support of our participating Citigroup companies, was created to serve you at every stage of your financial life.
