It's no secret that we are living longer, healthier lives. In fact, increasing longevity is one of the biggest success stories of recent decades. Whilst the social implications of people living longer are becoming more widely discussed, the financial impacts of increasing longevity in the UK require greater attention and understanding.
It is against this backdrop that the Life Trust Foundation has been established.
Our main purpose is to raise awareness and understanding of longevity trends so that preparations are made to cope with the financial challenges and opportunities of living a longer life.
The financial implications of increased longevity are profound and it is our aim to encourage individuals, businesses, and policymakers to recognise them, understand them and address them.
