Exploring longevity to build financially secure futures
Join us as we discover the aspirations and challenges of people across the UK as they plan for later life, as well as for the here and now.
Let’s talk about the longevity megatrend
Are we practically, emotionally and financially prepared for a longer life?
The global demographic shift is well underway, and our Life100+ research aims to explore how we can best approach and prepare for the longer years, ensuring that we’re set to make the most of our improved longevity. In the UK, for example, we can expect to see a 90% rise in the number of people reaching 80 and above by 20501. This will be more than 6.6 million people.
But are we prepared?
We conducted this in-depth Life100+ research to better understand the complexities that may arise. What we’ve uncovered is much more than a collection of stats. Instead, we’re gaining valuable insights into the aspirations and challenges of people across the UK as they plan for later life, as well as for the here and now.

Life100+ for Advisers
The Power of Three - Longevity, Conversation and Financial Planning
Join Lindsey Rix-Broom, Lisa Edgar and Keily Vanstone as they discuss the importance of the developing longevity megatrend and what it’ll mean for financial planning – both now and into the future.
We believe that our insights will not only benefit our customers and adviser partners, but they might help to shape how we think about living longer as a society. Our hope is that Life100+ will help to ensure that we're all making more of life.
Life100+ core themes
Three core themes have emerged in our research: the power of conversation, the power of advice, and the power of those close to us.
We’ve found that each of these contributes to a greater sense of control – and by consequence, to higher levels of overall life satisfaction.
The power of conversation
Quality conversations with those close to us, as well as with professional advisers, will be key to making the most of a longer life.
The power of advice
The demand for financial advice exists, but people often turn to family, the internet and well-known personalities rather than IFAs.
The power of those close to us
Our close family and friends are the foundation of much of the support needed through major life events and stages.

Why do we work with financial advisers?
Good financial planning and sound advice are critical to your current and future well-being. A professional adviser can help you weigh your options and understand the pros and cons of individual financial products. We recommend getting advice for all key financial decisions.
