Rethinking Wealth Planning for Longevity

Living longer, living better?
People are living longer and expecting more from those extra years. Longevity is no longer a distant trend but a lived reality, reshaping how wealthy individuals and families think about sustaining lifestyle, health and legacy over much longer time horizons.
At the same time, the rules are changing. Financial needs are becoming more interconnected and less predictable. Wealth is no longer managed along a fixed path, but across multiple life stages where priorities evolve. Rising life expectancy, higher costs, mindset shifts and more complex family dynamics are forcing a rethink of how resilient current strategies really are.
This shift is unfolding in an increasingly fluid, borderless world, where wealth spans jurisdictions and generations. Integrated planning is becoming essential, bringing together liquidity, protection, governance and legacy into a more cohesive approach. But are today’s structures built for lives that could span a century? And how should wealth evolve when pathways are no longer linear?
This Financial Times event, in partnership with Manulife, will bring together senior voices from policy, health and the financial sector to explore what financial readiness means in the longevity era, and how wealth can remain resilient in a world defined by change.
