Remarks At Investor Advisory Committee Meeting, SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, March 11, 2021

Date 11/03/2021

Thank you Jennifer [Marietta-Westberg] and the rest of the Committee for holding today’s meeting. Welcome to Brian Hellmer and Leslie Van Buskirk. The last several months have seen unprecedented national attention on our capital markets thanks to the meme stock trading events. Even as we look critically at what happened, a moment like this, when we have a broad and interested audience, is also a wonderful opportunity—an opportunity to tell the real story of wealth creation in the capital markets and to invite more Americans to take part in that story. It is not a story of getting rich over night, but rather a story of building America through investments that enable companies to grow, thrive, and enrich their shareholders, who, in turn, can use the profits to educate their children, buy homes, and build a family nest egg. This story will be more powerful when more Americans play a role as investors contributing to, and entrepreneurs drawing from, the capital markets.

BIS: The Fintech Gender Gap

Date 11/03/2021

Summary

Focus

Financial inclusion is a key goal for policymakers around the world. Yet women remain unbanked or underbanked relative to men: they have lower access to transaction accounts, credit and other financial services. Hopes are high that new financial technology ("fintech") can enhance financial inclusion and close the gender gap in access to financial services. Yet evidence on adoption rates of fintech products and services by gender has so far been scarce.
