Planning for the future has long focused on finances but living longer, healthier, better lives takes more. The Longevity Preparedness Index, developed with MIT AgeLab, measures readiness across eight dimensions of later life. For insurers, distributors, and innovators, these insights reveal unmet needs and opportunities to design personalized solutions that go beyond protection: helping people thrive as they age. Walk away with new insights on how to:

• Reframe longevity planning beyond financial security to include health, purpose, care, and social connection as core readiness factors

• Identify where consumers are most underprepared—and where insurers can create differentiated value

• Design products, services, and engagement models that support healthier, longer lives, not just risk mitigation

• Expand the role of insurers and distributors from protectors to proactive partners in helping customers thrive as they age
