First Capital drives women’s financial empowerment with #FinPowerHer

In celebration of International Women’s Day 2026, First Capital Holdings PLC, a subsidiary of JXG (Janashakthi Group) and a leading investment institution in Sri Lanka, is shifting the conversation from symbolic recognition to meaningful action through the launch of #FinPowerHer,  a dedicated financial learning experience introduced to mark International Women’s Day. The initiative is designed to help women take their first step towards investing and achieving long-term financial independence.

Originally launched two years ago as a financial literacy platform dedicated to women, #FinPowerHer has, until now, been delivered exclusively online. This year, the initiative evolves into a physical event, offering a practical financial learning experience that brings financial education closer to participants in a more engaging and hands-on format.

On 6 March 2026, from 12 noon onwards, First Capital will open its doors at its Head Office at Deal Place, Colombo 02, inviting women from surrounding offices and universities within the vicinity to participate in an informal afternoon of conversation, guidance and confidence building.

The experience will include the launch of a women-friendly investment guide, mini learning sessions that simplify essential investment concepts, one-on-one consultations with financial professionals and the opportunity to open an investment account with a minimum of Rs. 1,000. The event will also feature interactive elements including a “Financial Freedom” vision board, networking opportunities and curated takeaway kits designed to encourage goal setting beyond the day itself.
