American Century Sponsors Kansas City Lady Soccer To Fight Investing Gap & Gender Inequity

The co-branding might be inspiring for those of us who don't look at EXORBITANT MUTUAL FUND FREE FEES and the foibles of actively managed 'masters of the universe' who can't outperform an index fund . . . Even in harsh times. 

Still . . . In fairness, we share their politically charged marketing perspective . . .

"We are so excited about the opportunity to partner with American Century," said Angie Long, co-owner of the Kansas City Current. "We share a belief in raising the bar and shining a light on how powerful women can be in industries where they have traditionally been under-represented. As an athlete my entire life, an investor since college and now a professional sports team owner, I'm fortunate to be in a position as a role model. Together, in partnership, the Kansas City Current and American Century will tell the story of the opportunity for women in the world of investments and sports."

"The wealth gap continues to affect women, even though their financial contributions to their households has grown exponentially. In 1967, just 12% of mothers were the sole breadwinners in their households,1 whereas in 2019, 41% of mothers were the primary wage earners. The wealth gap impacts women as well as those they are caring for and supporting financially, now more than ever. Closing the investing gap is an important part of reducing gender inequity."
