Start the Life100+ conversation and help your clients make the most of a longer life.
A key finding in our first Life100+ report is that preparing well for later life is imperative. By planning appropriately and leveraging the power of conversation – most especially in the areas of close relationships and financial advice – people will be in a much better position to take advantage of the benefits additional years may bring.

We’re proud to present our first Life100+ report, Exploring longevity to build financially secure futures.
Learn more about the key roles intergenerational relationships and financial advice will play as we plan for a longer later life.
We’ve found that many people haven’t given much thought to their later years, and that a lack of preparedness will hamper their ability to live comfortably.
This issue is compounded by the fact that only 23% of our respondents have ever used an adviser.
Our research shows that having a sense of control over one’s life is strongly correlated with life satisfaction. Nine in ten (90%) of those who say they feel in control are satisfied with life, compared with just two-thirds (65%) overall.
People who receive financial advice feel more in control, and three-quarters (75%) of those who use an adviser are satisfied with their life, compared with six in ten (61%) of those who don't use an adviser.

New research from Canada Life finds that the majority of UK adults (56%) who received an inheritance sum over the past five years did not discuss its value with the benefactor beforehand.
Almost one in five (19%) 18–34-year-olds have used, or plan to use, inheritance they’re expecting to buy a property.
