Forbes magazine publishes a relatively new section called "Forbes Woman" that is dedicated to issues affecting professional and executive women.
A recent column discusses financial planning and the need to consider longevity risk when constructing a portfolio--particularly in light of recent capital market volatility.
Longevity risk is especially relevant to women since their life expectancies are longer than men. In addition, many women find themselves solely responsible for their family finances when they survive their husbands.
Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) are also discussed in a fair amount of detail.
