Wealthspan Advisors is a company that came into being because two scientists in the field of longevity study joined forces with two experienced financial advisors with a vision of helping people realize their most significant wealth and health by being aware of both and the impact each has on the other. By introducing aging science into the wealth planning conversation, they start with a foundation based on the client’s unique attributes and build a unique plan for them. The plan focuses on their healthspan and the gap that may exist with the lifespan and healthspan of their spouse, if applicable. It’s a conversation they’ve likely never had and an experience they’ve likely never heard of, but it’s instrumental in financial decision-making.

Aging science can play a crucial role in informing these decisions by helping to understand the physical and cognitive changes that occur with age. There are several factors to consider when planning for retirement, including health, lifestyle, and income. Aging science can help to understand better how these factors may change over time and what steps can be taken to mitigate any negative impacts. For example, research into aging has shown that physical abilities tend to decline. This can significantly impact the ability to continue working or enjoying leisure activities. However, there are ways to offset this decline through exercise and other healthy lifestyle choices. Similarly, cognitive decline is a natural part of aging, but some steps can be taken to protect the brain. Brain-training exercises, social activities, and a healthy diet are all important in maintaining cognitive function.

Aging science can also help to understand the financial implications of retirement. Overall, aging science can provide valuable insights into aging and the changes that occur over time. This information can inform decisions about retirement planning and help ensure a comfortable later life.

Jeff Stukey & Jay Olshansky say, “It’s our job to find out who you are, where you are, and what you want to accomplish so we can design a plan together to get you there. We will concentrate on several topics: risk management, distribution or income planning, RMD and tax planning, estate planning, and longevity planning. The financial products are only recommended because they will help you accomplish your goals – that’s the only thing that matters. As independent fiduciary advisors, we are held to a legal responsibility to make recommendations that are in your best interest with no conflicts of interest based on how we get paid. The fact that we are independent also means we don’t have any proprietary products or company quotas we need to meet. So, you can rest assured that any recommendation concerning any financial product is made with your best interest in mind.”
