Her session, The 3-Bucket System: How to Build Wealth Without Feeling Behind, introduces a practical framework that helps high-performing women organize their money so investing feels clear, not chaotic.

Vriti breaks wealth-building into three buckets: Now, Next, and Later and shows how to align each with the right accounts. She’ll also clarify the difference between ETFs and individual stocks, and why some investors choose broad ETFs for consistency while others use individual stocks for focus, conviction, or upside. You’ll leave with a structure that makes investing feel manageable and aligned with your goals.
