What The Elle - 🤔 Your Q’s about the markets, A'd

SALLIE'S OPINION

In times like this, you’ve got questions. We’ve got answers.

Ellevest’s Chief Investment Officer, Dr. Sylvia Kwan, and I have each been in the investing industry or on Wall Street for 30+ years: She as a portfolio manager and Chief Investment Officer; and I as a banking-industry research analyst, Chief Financial Officer of Citi, and head of Merrill Lynch. So we’ve seen our fair share of ups and downs and bank runs.

In lieu of a typical column this week, we thought we’d answer some key questions you’ve been asking us over the past few weeks, everything from how banks invest customers’ money to what this means for inflation and equities. Read it at the link below.

How’s women’s financial health doing these days?

Some good news as we exit Women’s History Month. The Ellevest Women’s Financial Health Index is the first and only holistic measure of women’s financial health in the United States — and now it’s been updated to reflect data from December, January, and February. Learn how women are doing.

Psst! Where are you at with your taxes?

Over on the ol’ IG last week, we polled the Ellevest community about whether you’ve done your taxes yet. (The deadline this year is April 18 — or October 16, if you’re in certain areas of California.) Turns out a ton of you are early birds:

Yes, gotta get it out of the way 👋

57%


Started but haven’t filed yet 🗃	23%

Nope, I live for the rush 🤠

20%

PS: We put together this list of ways to pay your tax refund forward to yourself.
