KBBS shareholder Gianna Giusti spoke with Rob Burgess of Financial Planning for an article about working with female clients.
This can be particularly acute for women who are married to men, said Gianna Giusti, financial planning associate at wealth management firm Kutscher Benner Barsness & Stevens Financial in Seattle. An example of this is planning around long-term care, she said.
“Men typically spend less time in long-term care facilities than women, because women, in addition to living longer, are more likely to be caregivers for their husbands,” she said. “So, a woman’s long-term care expenses might be higher than her husband’s only by virtue of having no spouse to act as caregiver when her needs arise. That general focus on the longer-term is by no means absent in men, but there’s an additional and inherent gravity to the discussion for many of our clients who are women.”
