Join Texas Children’s retirement benefit provider, Fidelity, in celebrating Women’s History Month by taking a closer look at the unique financial realities of being a woman – and learning how to navigate them.
Fidelity is hosting a series of free, virtual Women Talk Money events throughout this month that focus on what women need to know to achieve their best financial futures. Life expectancy, health care costs, and career interruptions due to caregiving are all factors that acutely affect women and impact their ability to stay on track with financial goals.
In each online session, Women Talk Money participants can connect with a community of women and learn how to harness their strengths to develop smart money habits that lead to savvy investing. The marquee events scheduled for March are listed below. To register, click here.

The Women Talk Money community is focused on normalizing talking about money openly and honestly, planning for gender differences that can impact women’s financial outlook, and spotlighting knowledgeable advisors who are passionate about helping women reach their retirement and other personal finance goals.
A 2022 study from the U.S. Census Bureau shows that women are more likely than men to have no personal retirement savings. Additional research from Fidelity shows that those women who do invest in their retirement plans are often not investing elsewhere, though their returns are better when they do.
At Texas Children’s, all team members are immediately eligible to begin saving for retirement with the 403(b) Savings Plan, which is administered by Fidelity. Texas Children’s matches 50% on the first 6% contributed to the retirement plan!
