Going greener is something that is on everyone’s mind, (no, I don’t mean like Shrek, I mean reducing your environmental impact…) It has been suggested in a study by Scottish Widows that changing how your pension is invested could have a much greater environmental impact than other lifestyle adaptations. In our latest blog (linked in the comments) we’ve shared three ways switching your pension could reduce your carbon footprint. Here’s a little sneak peek: ✈️ Making your pension green could reduce your carbon footprint more than cutting out flying 💰 Making your pension sustainable doesn’t mean missing out on investment returns 🎛️ Switching to a “green” pension is often simple If you have any more questions, drop them in the comments and I’ll be happy to answer them for you 👍 *𝘐𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘺 𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘬𝘴.

An insightful day at the Retirement Living and Care Conference with lots to process and reflect on. Some initial takeaways: - only 20% of investors feel that ESG is NOT a key consideration (if you want to attract investors ESG needs to be high on your agenda) - when it comes to operating models there is a lot to unpack!!; - affordability is important. Residents continue to seek certainty of cost and the options you offer as well as the way you explain them have impact when it comes to fill rates; - services are a key part of the IRC package but not all services carry equal weight; and - there remains a huge opportunity for growth but to borrow the words of a panelist "how we capitalise on it is key" All in all I'm excited to see (and be part of) how this sector grows. Exciting times ahead. #lderetirement

Blackrock has about $10 trillion of assets under management, so when its CEO Larry Fink speaks about the future of investment, you listen 📣 I agree with Mark Wiedman affording one's own #longevity is a key focus🎯 We should not only nudge people into saving more for their third life, but also help them live healthier. Larry mentions Wegovy as a life-extending drug tackling obesity (40% of Americans) and its drastic co-morbidity effects. However, this is half solution, half problem, as (1) at a cost of $16k/year it risks digging further the hole of social security deficit, adding to a $35tn US #nationaldebt, (2) it is a work-around real #health #sports & #nutrition issues, and (3) it increases longevity compounding the Social Security checks cost (again). 👉Exercise + Look after you costs + Save excess cash early 💫 #investmentstrategy #futureofwealth
