According to Time Magazine, women make up 47 percent of the U.S. workforce and 55 percent of its college undergraduates. Unfortunately, there is still a gender wage gap. 

Furthermore, women are less likely than men to take steps to secure their financial future, with 72 percent of women saving for retirement compared to 80 percent of men in 2016, according to Forbes.

Carl F. Petersen heads a small investment adviser firm, owned by Annette Peterson, which focuses on 401(k) rollover and IRAs and helps investors with “unique and dynamic stock and fixed income strategies designed to handle both bull and bear markets.”

Annette Petersen works with women, particularly those who are divorced, widowed, or control the household budget. She also oversees the transition of assets “to ensure that everything is correctly titled and the bequests can be honored.”
