On 19 March, L&G's Joanne Coan, strategic partnerships director and Nick Birdseye, strategic partner development director joined Professional Adviser in the studio to discuss why retirement is no longer a finish line but a shifting new chapter shaped by changing ambitions and evolving income solutions.

In this session, we explored how economic uncertainty and changing behaviours are redefining how clients view their future. We also explored the changing landscape of retirement income solutions, including the future of annuities and equity release, and how these products are converging to meet more complex client needs.

In this session we also covered:

  • The shift from accumulation‑focused planning to holistic retirement strategies
  • Understand what the strategic role of property wealth and guaranteed income in modern retirement planning is
  • Identify how advisers can enhance value through effective communication and collaboration
