Is the history of lifetime mortgages causing a dark cloud over their use in today's financial planning? As financial planners, the selection of assets including Pensions are all important when developing a suitable plan to meet our clients’ needs and objectives when moving into later life. However, are we missing an essential ingredient in the plan? In this session we take a brief look at the journey of Lifetime mortgages and contrast this with the developments and options now available to us today.

Futureproof your retirement business with a Centralised Retirement Proposition

  • Wed 04 Nov 12:30 pm – 1:30 pm
    • Kevan Ramanauckis, Canada Life

The second Market in Financial Instruments Directive – MiFID II – came into force on the 3rd January 2018. It introduced the “Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebooks” or PROD. This may sound like a handbook that applies just to product providers and indeed it includes many rules for these firms; but it also includes sections that are relevant to advisory firms or “distributors.” The aim of the handbook is to ensure all firms have good product governance and for advisory firms it relates to the approach taken for providing advice to clients, including the design and implementation of a Centralised Investment Proposition (CIP) and or a Centralised Retirement Proposition (CRP). These include rules relating to understanding products and liaising with providers but, also on the advisory firm’s proposition for clients. This is an interactive webinar using gotomeeting.
