What is Financial Planning?

Financial planning is just like any planning, it's about mapping out your financial future. Think of building a house? Without a floor plan you could end up with a terrific staircase that leads nowhere or perhaps a bathtub in the kitchen. Financial planning is about mapping out your personal financial situation (the plan) to ensure your lifestyle goals and objectives (the house) is built the way you want it!

Planning is common to those experienced in managing a business. Business objectives are created, targets and budgets set and reviewed. Personal financial planning applies similar disciplines to your own personal circumstances now and for your future.

Financial planning is not just about investment although the majority of plans will of necessity incorporate an investment plan. Your plan will also consider taxation issues associated with your investments and how you might better structure your portfolio. Financial planning is about the proper management of your personal financial affairs so your plan should always include a comprehensive estate plan.

Financial planning is also about managing unforeseen events. Events we may have no control over but could impact you or your dependants financially such as the death of a loved one so your plan should also include a personal wealth protection plan.

Since your personal circumstances, goals and objectives can and often will change over time your advisor will review your plan on important events like buying a home, changing your job, marriage or divorce or on receiving a financial windfall such as an inheritance.
