Assemblies belong to paraplanners. Since 2013, we've been gathering - online and in person - to learn things, fix things and share things.
⏰ GOING LIVE IN FIVE! Would you like a plan for your career that you can actually stick to? In this final Assembly of our four-part series made possible by Aegon, our guests will share practical ideas and insights to help you plan the next steps in your career with clarity and confidence.

The choices clients make during the 5-10 years either side of retirement can decide how comfortable they’ll be once they stop working.

Is there a chance that the most recent recommendation you created for a woman unwittingly relied on assumptions rooted in the life experience of a man?

There's been a surge of podcast listens to last year's Laurence Leigh's bite-sized Assembly on investing for US expats over the last couple of weeks.

Can't think what's prompting that 🤔
