Helping your clients to plan for their retirement
Your clients want to look forward to the future – and their Second Life – with confidence. Here we've gathered some tips and tools you can use to help them plan for a fulfilling and financially sound Second Life.
Asking the right questions about retirement
Not every client will know exactly how they want to live their life in retirement. You can help them think about it using our Second Life Questionnaire. A series of simple questions about the non-financial aspects of retirement helps set out a vision of how they might like to enjoy their Second Life. The clearer that vision, the easier it is to identify the financial support they’re likely to need.
End of career guidance
If your clients need help in finding their path, look no further than Brian Mooney. A retired guidance teacher, he's a life coach, motivator and retirement specialist – and our end-of-career guidance counsellor. Meet Brian in the short video below.
Second Life Webinars
We offer a series of webinars that tell advisers about Second Life and the support we offer, helping you to understand and access the resources available to you. We also offer client-facing webinars that encourage your clients to start planning for their retirement. They make ideal tools for explaining the options they might want to consider. Talk to your business manager to find out more.
Retirement chats with Brian Mooney
We filmed our end-of-career guidance counsellor in conversation with a number of retirees. They share their experience of the journey to and through retirement, and the videos are full of tips, motivation and great advice from the people best qualified to give it. They’re a great way to prepare for client conversations, as well as useful guides for your clients to watch.
