"The Bag Lady of Bay Street" is the financial empowerment avatar of Sandra Pierce, Senior Vice President and Investment Advisor at Macquarie Private Wealth. "The Bag Lady" gets her name from a phenomenon called "Bag Lady Syndrome" that causes even very successful women like Katie Couric, Sherry Lansing, Gloria Steinem and Lily Tomlin to fear that they will lose all their money and end up destitute on the street. Irrational, but a very real nightmare for many successful women throughout the world — one that even Sandra experienced but gained control over. Sandra now coaches others on how they can overcome "Bag Lady Syndrome."

Today, Sandra helps CEOs, law firm partners, executives and even young professionals express their financial fears or concerns, and educates them about the issues and the solutions available. Knowledge is empowerment and Sandra spends a lot of her time listening and teaching through one-on-one or group meetings. You can also get some of Sandra’s market insights, investment knowledge and fashion accessory tips (she is the Bag Lady of Bay Street after all!), from her quarterly newsletter, Musings, as well as her guest expert column on TheBestKeptSecret.ca.

For most women, peace of mind over their stress about money comes from knowing that a team of qualified, caring investment professionals is managing their short and long-term financial needs. Sandra and her team, The Fox Pierce Segal Group,* help their clients become prepared so they do not fall victim to their own financial fears.

"We will identify your investment goals, the wisest steps to achieving them, and signs of success to look for along the way. My specialty within the group is to help women to understand and become inspired by their financial potential. I counsel them to visualize, articulate and finance their dreams, liberating their lives and revealing their highest potential. Rather than worrying about money, you will enjoy a lifetime of feeling financially secure, knowing you are truly carrying 'the right kind of bag.'"
