Powering the Shift: Women, Wealth, and the Future of Capital

An unprecedented amount of wealth is moving into the hands of women.

Over the next decade, women will control a growing share of Canada’s assets through inheritance, entrepreneurship, executive leadership, and investment. The decisions made during this shift will influence not only personal wealth, but where capital flows, which businesses grow, what innovations are funded, and how our economy evolves.

The question is no longer whether women will hold more wealth.

The question is whether our financial systems, institutions, and leadership models are prepared for what comes next.

Join us for Powering the Shift: Women, Wealth, and the Future of Capital, a curated evening presented by The Power Shift featuring opening remarks and moderation by Ilse Treurnicht, Managing Partner at TwinRiver Capital, alongside a distinguished panel of leaders from investment, philanthropy, entrepreneurship, and financial innovation.

Panelists include Julia Elvidge and Jaqueline Ovens.

Together, we will explore:

• How the transfer of wealth to women is reshaping investing, business, and economic leadership
• Why many financial systems remain misaligned with the priorities and realities of women investors
• Where women have influence over capital—and where barriers to decision-making still exist
• What opportunities, risks, and responsibilities come with directing wealth at scale
• How women can shape not only their own financial future, but the future of Canada’s economy

The evening will bring together investors, entrepreneurs, executives, board members, philanthropists, financial professionals, and emerging leaders from across sectors for the kind of candid, cross-sector conversation that rarely happens in one room.

Designed to move beyond networking and beyond traditional panel discussions, this gathering offers an opportunity to engage directly with women who are shaping decisions about capital, investment, leadership, and influence across Canada.

You will leave with:

✔ New connections with influential women across sectors who are shaping investment, business, philanthropy, and public life

✔ Candid insights from leaders making consequential decisions about capital, growth, and impact

✔ A deeper understanding of how the transfer of wealth to women is reshaping markets, institutions, and opportunity

✔ Fresh perspectives on your own role as an investor, leader, entrepreneur, advisor, or wealth-holder

✔ Practical ideas and questions to bring into your own financial, leadership, and investment decisions

Whether you manage investments, lead an organization, run a business, advise clients, sit on a board, build wealth, or simply want to better understand the forces shaping the next decade, this conversation will challenge assumptions, expand perspectives, and connect you with women asking the same strategic questions.

Join us for an evening of insight, connection, and candid conversation about power, capital, and the future of economic leadership.
