Since 2008, Womenkind has helped leading financial services brands strengthen their relationships with women.

Our mission is to correct that perception. We uncover the authentic needs, desires and preferences of women for the benefit of a brand’s bottom line.

We research tirelessly to unearth original insights and transform our discoveries into effective strategy and award-winning campaigns that delight and deliver.

Our work has helped Citibank, TD Ameritrade, Mutual of Omaha, and others profit from the wisdom of women.

We invite you to take a look at our thinking and consider how Womenkind's insights can boost your share of this powerful, and largely underleveraged market.

WHY ARE WOMEN STILL AN UNDERLEVERAGEDOPPORTUNITY? Because the financial services industry still fails to effectively market to women. Women are more dissatisfied with financial services than any other industry that affects their daily lives.

How You Might Squeeze More Happiness Out of Your Dollars

pleasure from these purchases soon fades.

This is less likely to happen if we spend our money on experiences. Suppose we

take the family to Europe. The trip is quickly over and nothing of tangible value remains.

But that’s an advantage. Unlike objects, such experiences don’t grow old and become

irksome. Instead, all we are left with are fond memories that may grow fonder over time.

In fact, it seems women are in touch with the importance of life’s intangibles. We

learned from the Women and Affluence 2010 study that, despite the recent turmoil

in the economy, women’s financial values have held steadfast. They remain focused

on building financial security and quality of life for themselves and their families.

2. Count your blessings. The thrill from the new house, car, and clothes may soon

wane. You might also quickly forget the latest promotion. Even the trip to Europe

can eventually become a distant memory.

To counteract all of this, go out and celebrate the promotion. Remember the trip

by framing a few vacation photos. Stop for a moment and admire your house. This

should allow you to hang onto the good feelings for longer.

3. Strive for a sense of control. We don’t do very well with uncertainty. Some is

inevitable. But some we inflict on ourselves. For instance, if buying the big house

means living in a distant suburb, we will have the uncertainty of a long commute,

never knowing how bad the traffic will be.

4. Find a purpose. Forget endless leisure. We don’t really want that. Instead, what

we want is a sense of purpose to our lives.

Keep this in mind as you think about how you spend your spare time and what you

might do in retirement. We imagine we would be happy devoting our days to lazing

around on the couch. But we will likely be far happier if we take on challenging

tasks that we’re likely to succeed at. That might mean training to run a marathon,

helping our favorite charity, or going back to school to get a degree.

5.Give a little. Volunteering isn’t just good for the community. It also makes

us feel good. Our hunter-gatherer ancestors lived in small groups where it was

important to behave well toward others and have a good reputation. Maybe it is

no great surprise we enjoy helping our fellow citizens.

6.Make time for friends and family. Fly across the country to see the grandchildren.

Take your spouse to the theatre. Or simply invite friends over for a barbeque.

This is the stuff that life is made of. Researchsuggests that spending time with those we loveis a huge source of happiness. Looking for agood way to spend your money and your time?Try spending it with friends and family.

“I want to be able to choose what I

want to do and to usethat flexibility to do

only what I feel passionate about.”

Latoya Member since 2007

Some years ago, mymanager at the timebegan my year-end per-formance review withstartling questions. “Areyou happy?” he asked.“Are you having fun?”Caught completely offguard by his candor, Iwondered, “Why doeshe care? Was he payingme to have fun or to get

the job done?” As time went on, I began to understand and appreciate his point.

Given the significant proportion of our lives wespend at work, we can’t do something simply forthe title, prestige or even money. Ideally, we shoulddo something we’re truly passionate about, thatfulfills us personally and emotionally. The adage“Do what you love and the money will follow” has

eloquent meaning. It’s a wonderful privilege whenwe are able to make a living by pursuing our passion professionally. I count myself in this groupand I take a moment every day to be grateful for it.

For others, what is personally fulfilling may not befinancially fulfilling, so work becomes the meansfor financing a passion. Whether it’s runningmarathons, or in the case of my friend Trish whoset up a feral cat colony in her community, the ability to take time out of a busy work scheduleand act on a passion can help keep each one of us fulfilled.

But what if your passion has gotten lost in thenever-ending barrage of e-mails, meetings anddeadlines? What if what attracted you to a particular field when you started out no longergives you the same sense of satisfaction? The goodnews is that it’s n ever too late to reconnect with your passion – and never too early to start

planning your next move. It takes discipline, perseverance and a willingness to take a chance.

Most importantly: Don’t worry. You don’t have to take this journey alone. Friends, family and colleagues can provide invaluable insight and perspective. Support can come from many places,including Women & Co. We’re committed to bringingyou articles, resources and other tools to help youlive a more financially – and consequently, emo-tionally – fulfilled life.

Like most women, I play many roles in life. One that is particularly near anddear to me is that of sister to a special needs individual. I am fortunate enoughto have the financial ability to contribute to the living and medical expensesmy brother needs to manage his disability. Doing so gives me a great deal ofsatisfaction. It also takes careful planning.

According to the Social Security Administration, government benefits such asSupplemental Security Income and Medicaid are a primary source of incomeand health care for most individuals with special needs. I was surprised tolearn that the limit for countable resources, like incomes and financial investments a special needs person can maintain is only $2,000 - any excess,and they risk losing these benefits.

With the help of a team of knowledgeable professionals, my family establisheda Special Needs Trust (SNT) so additional funds could be put towards my

brother’s care in the future without compromising the benefits he receivestoday. While we appointed my mother as trustee to manage and administer the SNT, other families may want to consider other trusted relatives,friends or professionals who could perform these duties. Talk with your family to determine who might be the best trustee in your particular situation.

In addition to planning, communication is important when preparing for aloved one’s care. My family makes sure to keep the lines open about our specific plan which helps make sure future monetary gifts are directed to theSNT, not my brother. Doing so helps safeguard all the resources available tohim and enriches his quality of life.

I encourage you to visit the Estate & Legacy page at womenandco.com tolearn more about different types of trusts. The Life Stages & Planning pagealso has more information about helping your loved ones in need.

NEWSLETTERS PROVIDED A DEPTH OF FINANCIAL PLANNING “HOW-TO’S” AND INFORMATION.

Newsletters

n recent decades, the U.S. standard of living has vastly improved, and so has women’s financial

influence. According to Linda Descano, CFA®, Women & Co.’s President, “Women are creating and

controlling more wealth than ever before and the results of our latest survey, Women and Affluence 2010:

The Era of Financial Responsibility, reinforces that their influence only continues to grow.”

Yet Americans, on average, report being no more satisfied with their lives. Money, it appears, hasn’t

bought much happiness. Why not? Psychologists posit the notion of the “hedonic treadmill.” The idea:

We strive to get that bigger house or next promotion. But the thrill quickly wears off and soon we are

lusting after something else.

How can we get ourselves off the treadmill and potentially squeeze more happiness out of our

dollars? Here are six suggestions:

1. Consider buying experiences, rather than things. When we consider what we would do with extra

money, we typically imagine buying things—a new car, a bigger house, new clothes. Problem is, the

Dear Member:

Are you feeling happier? By now the New Year is well

under way, and hopefully the struggles we faced

in 2009 are fading into distant memories. The good

news is that as women, we continue to advance. In

fact, a new national survey of affluent

women, Women and Affluence

Responsibility, conducted by

Women & Co., reveals that

women’s financial influence

and confidence continues to

grow year after year. Does

knowing that make you feel more

satisfied with the development in your own life?

I believe that personal satisfaction is one important

element in our overall happiness. In his article,

Jonathan Clements, Director of Financial Education

for Citi Personal Wealth Management, writes,

“Research suggests that spending time with those

we love is a huge source of happiness.” No one would

disagree with that, but it’s interesting to ponder

how many sources of happiness there are in our lives.

This issue of Wisdom, Wealth, & Women explores

satisfaction and how to determine what could bring

more joy and fulfillment to our lives. Whether it’s

saving for retirement, caring for a loved one, or finding

our true passion, the insights shared here are

intended to stimulate your own ideas for discovering

what could make you happier.

PROFITABLE RELATIONSHIP BUILDING:

THE BUSINESS CASE FOR CLIENT INTERACTION DURING LIFE TRANSITION

“When Life Changes, Money Changes. When Money Changes, Life Changes.”

Susan Bradley, Founder, Sudden Money Institute

Overview

Life transitions can have an enormous impact on financial decisions. Consider the fact that 80% of women outlive their

husbands and 70% change financial advisors within a year of the loss of their spouse. Meeting our clients’ needs the right

way, at the right time, can help drive asset retention and strengthen client loyalty.

As part of our commitment to nurturing valuable client relationships, TD Ameritrade has created a program called Life

2.0 to serve as a resource to our associates, clients, prospective clients and anyone who is experiencing significant life

transition: a new marriage, becoming a parent, divorce or the loss of a spouse.

It is clear that significant life events present an opportunity to provide empathetic service that helps strengthen and grow

client relationships. Your extra support of a client during this time can foster a sense of security and trust, leading to the

retention of assets and future aggregation assets.

Reach Out To Retain Customers

Many of your clients may experience life events that have the potential to dramatically transform their financial situations.

Losing a spouse, through divorce or death, can create extreme stress and a loss of hope, putting them at risk for making

rash financial decisions—including withdrawing investments or switching financial professionals.

Know Your Customer:

• Fact: 80-90% of women will be solely responsible for their finances sometime in their lifetime.

Source: Center for Women and Retirement research

•Fact:70% of widows change financial professionals within one year of their husband’s death.

•Fact:More than 50% of marriages end in divorce, frequently resulting in a loss of assets for financial institutions.

Three Steps To Positive Engagement:

• READY to listen

• RESPOND in a timely and helpful manner

• RETAIN the client and help build assets

LIfe 2.0: Tomorrow

Begins Today

Overview

As part of our commitment to nurturing valuable client relationships, TD

Ameritrade has created a program to serve as a resource to our clients,

prospective clients, and anyone who is experiencing significant life transitions: a

new marriage, becoming a parent, divorce or the loss of a spouse.

Life 2.0 is a comprehensive initiative designed to provide clients with the

information and guidance essential during times of change. Life transitions

impact financial decisions. Therefore, meeting our clients’ needs the right way, at

the right time, can help drive asset retention and strengthen client loyalty.

The program targets those clients experiencing change, many who could use the

support of thoughtful information specific to their situation. TD Ameritrade

will generate awareness of Life 2.0 with an email introduction to approximately

600,000 female clients.

The program includes a dedicated Life 2.0 microsite (www.tdameritrade.com/life)

featuring multimedia content, worksheets, checklists, and commentary-infused

tips, resources, links and inspirational ideas for successfully navigating life’s

transitions.

Our goal is to foster and strengthen client relationships through deeper

understanding of the client’s personal circumstances. Please forward your

questions and comments to [email protected].

Summary Guide

Helping Your Client

Before, During and

After Divorce

Starting over, stronger and smarter.

Whether amicable or contentious, divorce can be a stressful and life-altering

event. Your professional guidance, supported by TD Ameritrade’s vast array

of investment tools and educational resources, could be the cornerstone of

your client’s planning and recovery team. Be there to assist with goal-setting

and prioritizing as your client begins to envision a new financial future. Your

contribution to a revised and focused strategic action plan will set the foundation

for an enduring financial partnership and future aggregation of assets.

Step 1. Help assess your client’s current position.

During transition, your client may feel confused, stressed and extremely

emotional. Assist your client in determining their financial needs across a

spectrum of time horizons, and help establish a contextual framework for making

the first round of important decisions.

Step 2. Help create options.

To help your client avoid regrets a year after the divorce is finalized, encourage

your client to prioritize and articulate their financial needs at the outset of the

negotiation process. Discuss multiple financial scenarios based on different

settlement outcomes.

Step 3. Devise a plan for a brighter future.

Once your client can envision and articulate how the next phase of life will take

shape, there is likely to be more comfortable communication at the negotiation

table. Utilize the Divorce Settlement Scenario Worksheet, in the appendix to help

your client structure and prepare for settlement discussions.

Step 4. Help clients rebuild.

As your client emerges from an emotionally charged and perhaps financially

daunting period, encourage them to establish new parameters for the future

by aligning their goals with their financial reality. Help establish benchmarks

for retirement planning and investment strategy, as they begin to absorb the

financial impact of their life transition.

HELP ADVISORS ATTRACT AND RETAIN WOMEN.

Resources for clients and advisors.

The Loss of a Spouse Through Death or Divorce

SITUATION:

A client calls with unfortunate news regarding the imminent or recent loss of a

spouse. Recognize that the client may be emotionally devastated and prefer not to

discuss financial matters. However, certain realities require immediate action, so

the client may have no choice but to confront the matter. In this case, it’s in the best

interest of the relationship to help calm, soothe and alleviate the client’s stress.

• Express sympathy: A bereaved client’s life has been permanently altered.

Even though your client might seem to be coping well, stress can interfere with

their ability to process next steps. Offer condolences and demonstrate compassion

through your service.

• Listen: A client who is newly widowed or who has a terminally ill spouse could

require very specific information, or expect nothing more than your support as a

sounding board. In either case, good listening skills are critical. Carefully tune into

your client’s practical needs and feelings. If a client becomes upset discussing these

issues, gently suggest continuing the conversation at a better time.

• Be there: The majority of new widows will switch financial advisors within one

year. Convey respect and understanding to a client in need, and demonstrate that

you value the relationship and are here to help.

RESPOND:

• Reach out: After listening carefully to your client, ask thoughtful questions to

determine what information is relevant to the specific situation. For instance:

Did your spouse have a will? Are you aware of all accounts?

• Here to help: Remember this is an overwhelming experience for many people.

Offer gentle assistance to help your client take the important next steps. Express

your availability to answer any questions and concerns that may arise.

• Look ahead: As your clients move through the grieving process, offer

suggestions for organizing assets and debts proactively. Guide your clients to the

online checklists and worksheets downloadable from the Life 2.0 microsite, at

www.tdameritrade/life.

RETAIN:

• Maintain interest: Continue to nurture the relationship by offering kind

support throughout the grieving process. Your client will eventually emerge and be

ready to take the next steps in financial management.
