FPA and bQuest Launch Longevity Planning Foundations Program for Financial Professionals
The Financial Planning Association (FPA) has partnered with longevity services provider bQuest to launch the 'Longevity Planning Foundations Program.' This new educational initiative is designed to equip CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professionals with specialized tools to address the complex needs of an aging population, including health, housing, caregiving, and legacy planning. The program arrives as a response to growing demographic shifts, noting that over 63 million Americans are currently engaged in caregiving. By providing a framework built on five pillars—Health, Home and Community, Family and Support, Legal and Legacy, and Financial—the curriculum aims to integrate longevity considerations into standard annual financial reviews. The on-demand, self-paced course is available immediately through FPA's online learning center. It offers professional development credits for CFP® holders and provides a structured 90-day implementation path for advisors looking to incorporate these specialized services into their client practices.
