The financial community recognises that advising

olderclients on their financial needs, is a specialist

area and one which requires additional skills and

abilities.

As a result, the Financial Services Skills Council has launched a new scheme called the Later Life Adviser Accreditation. It aims to recognise advisers with the necessary empathetic skills to understand the needs of older clients and the specific issues which affect them.

Care Asset Management has been involved in the pilot phase of the scheme and having provided half of the successful candidates to date, are committed to seeing the later life accreditation become the benchmark for quality in advising older clients. All of our advisers are currently in the programme for accreditation.

The Later Life Adviser Accreditation scheme has been sponsored by Just Retirement and supported by Partnership Assurance.
