I’m Maryann Selfe, a Managing Director and global wealth strategist with more than 25 years advising institutional investors, ultra-high-net-worth families, and private capital across market cycles.
My career was built inside the financial system within private banking, investment banking, and Chief Investment Officer ecosystems where I spent two decades asking the same question: where is the next compelling investment opportunity emerging? A few years ago, that question led me somewhere the industry wasn’t looking.
Women’s health isn’t broken. It’s mispriced, and the $124 trillion Great Wealth Transfer is about to make that the most important blind spot in private markets.
Those two realisations — that women’s health is one of the largest market inefficiencies in healthcare, and that women are about to control more capital than at any point in history — are the foundation of everything I build.
What I build:
The Billion Dollar Blindspot — this platform:
Read by 20,000+ investors and capital allocators across 110 countries. I write about where capital flows, where it hesitates, and what gets funded and why. I also contribute to Professional Wealth Management (FT) and Institutional Investor.
The book — The Billion Dollar Blindspot:
Publishes May 26, 2026 and it makes the institutional investment case for women’s health as an investment theme or category.
The Capital Circle:
a quarterly private dinner series convening HNW women who are actively aligning their wealth to their values. By invitation only.
If you’re an investor, a capital allocator, or a private wealth institution trying to understand what the Great Wealth Transfer means for your portfolio and your clients, you are in the right place. Start with the essential read below.
