Our mission is to help as many people as possible achieve financial security in later life and enjoy the colourful retirement they want and deserve. There are nearly 12 million people in the UK aged 65 or over and this segment is growing. We believe that working together with advisers, there is an opportunity to transform and improve the retirement and lending marketplace.

Later life divorce can have the greatest impact on your client’s two largest assets – their pensions and property. As our latest research shows, only 12% of divorcees over 50 sought financial advice when getting divorced. This can be detrimental to client outcomes and retirement planning.

We're bringing together a panel of experts for an interactive live webinar, hosted by Marie Catch.

We'll be joined by:

Debora Price, Professor of social gerontology at the University of Manchester and specialist in the study of inequality in later life divorce.

Simon Drake, financial adviser, who shares how his approach can help his clients achieve better outcomes from divorce

Darsh Williams, L&G’s Strategic Partnership director for Retail Annuities, discusses how annuities can create a sustainable income for clients.

Nick Birdseye, L&G Home Finance’s Strategic Partner Director, explores how a later life mortgage could give clients more options.

There will be time for questions from the audience after the panel discussion.

This 60-minute webinar is CPD accredited.

Thinking differently about property wealth (Hosted by FT Adviser)

The divorce rate in later life is on the rise, in contrast to the decline among younger age groups. One in four divorces occurs after the age of 50, and this can have a significant financial impact on retirement. Research suggests that this trend is set to continue, with COVID-19 lockdowns fuelling an increase in divorce enquiries in the UK. 

Divorce presents huge emotional, legal and financial challenges for clients. Yet, new research from Legal & General Retail Retirement reveals that, when going through a divorce, people aged over 50 are more than four-times as likely to take advice from their friends as they are from a financial adviser. Just 3% seek financial advice at this critical time. 

Join Cecilia Furner, Strategic Account Director for Legal & General Retail Retirement, as she talks to Debora Price, Professor of Social Gerontology, University of Manchester, a member of the Pension Advisory Group and one of the lead authors of the report ‘A Guide to the Treatment of Pensions on Divorce: the Report of the Pension Advisory Group’ (July 2019), and Amyr Rocha-Lima, Partner, Holland Hahn & Wills LLP, chairman-elect of the CISI Financial Planning Forum, and a certified & chartered financial planner who specialises in helping successful professionals reduce taxes, invest smarter and retire on their terms.

We will be joined by Rob Miles, Head of Adviser Sales, Legal & General  Home Finance and Meg Dickens, Marketing Director, Legal & General Retail Retirement who will be sharing the latest consumer insights from our research on the trends, attitudes and behaviours of divorcing couples aged over 50 and what this might mean for your business and your clients. In addition, we will look at how financial advisers can build professional connections with solicitors to support clients during this critical time, as well as maintaining control of their client relationships.

Join us for a 45-minute live stream with Marie Catch, Head of Mortgage Sales at Legal & General Home Finance, to discuss how this new and evolving environment is highlighting client needs and potentially creating new opportunities in the later life lending space for mortgage brokers. 

The session will be hosted by Dave Stratton, Distribution Director, Legal & General Home Finance. Marie will be joined by Paul Hopton, Legal & General Mortgage Club and guests.

The role of later life lending for mortgage brokers in the current environment

Digital connections and interactions are more important than ever – and it looks like it’s one of the trends that’s set to continue. Join us for a 45 minute live stream with Sarah Cook, Group Head of Social Media & Content Strategy, Legal & General, as we discuss the business benefits of using digital insights to inform your business and how you can leverage social media to create new and nurture existing relationships.

We’ll also be providing you with practical tips around using LinkedIn to promote your business, develop professional connections and client relationships.

Making the most of social media and digital insights for your business

It’s undeniable that this global pandemic has had a huge impact on our daily lives. You would need more than a crystal ball to foresee what the longer-term impact might be. However, we are already starting to see shifts in the over 50’s sentiment, attitudes and behaviours in response – from feelings of ageism to a greater concern about their family rather than themselves. What shifts are we seeing and what does this actually mean for financial advice?

Join Chris Knight, CEO of Legal & General Retail Retirement, as he talks to Millie Hyde-Smith, Head of PR & Thought Leadership LGRR, and Tony Mattson, Head of Strategy at Havas Media Group. We’ll be discussing the latest consumer insights from the UK’s over 50 population – how COVID-19 is changing their sentiment, attitudes and behaviours and what this might mean for your business and your clients.

COVID-19: Changing sentiment, attitudes and behaviours of the over 50s

Changes over the last few weeks have required us to significantly change the way we work and find new ways to run our businesses. We’ll be in conversation with Sally Clayton, Chief Risk Officer Legal & General Home Finance, and guests.

Running an advice business remotely isn’t as simple as getting people set up to work from home. We’ll be discussing FCA expectations, client interactions and the importance of continuing supervision and oversight. We’ll be talking about how we can modify our businesses to work in this new environment without losing the important processes and controls we have in place to protect our clients, staff and businesses. Alongside Sally Clayton, we are delighted to be able to welcome Aaron Conlon from Fluent Lifetime and Lisa Francis from Legal & General Financial Advice to talk about their own experiences of a remote advice model.

Considerations of running an advice business remotely

The cost-of-living crisis continues, as inflation remains elevated at the highest levels for over 40 years . As a result, this year we have seen volatility and wild gyrations in financial markets, as investors come to terms with this new normal.

We will discuss how you can adapt retirement income strategies, whilst remaining focused on client objectives. 

Objectives
By the end of this session, delegates will be able to:
• Identify how clients’ objectives and priorities in retirement have changed
• Explain the impact of volatile economic environments on a client’s retirement objectives and portfolio
