Be prepared for the following process when you engage the services of a professional financial planner:
This is where you will talk about your financial objectives and requirements to decide the way forward.
The financial planner will ask questions and discuss your planning needs with you.
A thorough analysis of your existing financial situation is important to design a meaningful plan for you.
Your financial planner will provide you with written recommendations or a proposal about how to invest or insure yourself, based on your needs.
Once you’re happy with the financial planner’s recommendations, he/she will implement your financial plan with the investment, savings or insurance-based solutions you agreed on.
Your financial needs will change as your life changes. You may get married, have children, lose a spouse, or lose your job. You and your financial planner should have an agreement to regularly review your financial plan regularly.
A good financial planner will consider your financial well-being in all aspects of your life. This way they will ensure that your needs are not addressed in isolation.
Make sure your financial planner discusses the following with you:
He/she needs to understand your hopes, dreams and fears so that your financial plan can reflect your perception of success.
A financial planner has to understand where and how you currently spend your money, and what you can afford to save or invest.
We all have a "money" personality. Some of us are more conservative than others and don’t want to take risks with our money. Your financial planner should guide you through the pros and cons of less or more risk, while taking into account your personality and your ability to absorb risk.
You need to be comfortable with the costs of what you will be buying, including the cost of the advice itself.
You and your financial planner share the responsibility for future contact. Ensure that you can meet your planner on a basis that suits you. Make sure that you schedule a conversation at least once a year and definitely whenever a key event in your life occurs, such as getting married or having a baby, as this may impact your financial planning.
