Building on its established protection and mortgage training, the expanded CPD-accredited academy brings together technical insight and practical client-facing skills across annuities, later life lending, wealth transfer, estate planning and business protection.

The academy equips advisers to navigate changing customer needs, strengthen client conversations, deliver better outcomes at every stage of the client journey and uncover new opportunities for growth. It also explores how protection, retirement income and property wealth can work together to support financial security.

Webinar topics include building sustainable retirement incomes, navigating upcoming inheritance tax changes and understanding the role of fixed term annuities.

The series also explores how property wealth can support retirement income, gifting and estate planning, alongside more complex areas such as lending on properties built using modern methods of construction.

James Shattock, Managing Director of Protection and Retail Retirement, L&G: “Financial resilience is built over a lifetime, with decisions about protecting income, planning for retirement and using property wealth often being interconnected in shaping people’s long-term financial security.

“Advisers are essential in helping clients navigate those decisions and achieve better outcomes. That’s why we have created a more connected learning experience, equipping advisers with the tools they need to support clients across their financial journeys and help them reach their individual goals.”
