Balance Your Personal and Financial Goals
A financial plan-in concert with advice from a team of your advisors-will address your broad accumulation, preservation and wealth transfer needs while respecting your desire to maintain your accustomed lifestyle. A comprehensive financial plan focuses on your "big picture" in the long-term, plotting a course to manage life events such as:
- Financial Position
- Investment Planning
- Protection Planning
- Tax Minimization Strategies
- Retirement Planning
- Estate Analysis
Plan Your Course
Your Financial Planner will use knowledge and experience to develop a financial plan that is uniquely tailored to you. Once your financial plan is drafted, you will want to disuss it with your planner and make sure it meets your needs. This is a vital stage in the process to determine:
- Is it practical?
- Does it meet your needs?
- Is it flexible and realistic?
The Financial Planning Process Structure
Effective financial planning is part science, part art. If you work with a Strategic Wealth Management Group Financial Planner, he or she will guide you through a series of steps:
- Discovery - Your Planner listens to your concerns and addresses them by identifying reasonable goals. Along the way, he or she will gather facts about your situation and may help you gain a deeper understanding of financial issues that are relevant to your future.
- Planning - A thoughtful analysis is conducted and financial strategies are developed. Appropriate, qualified professionals may also assist as needed in the finalization of your customized financial plan.
- Delivery - Your Financial Planner will deliver your final plan for your review and approval. This plan specifically defines the actions and strategies that you should take to achieve your goals.
- Implementation* - Perhaps the most important step is acting on the advice. You are under no obligation to purchase any financial products from a Financial Planner. However, he or she can provide you access to quality insurance and investment products to help secure your financial future if you feel it is appropriate.
- Monitoring - Change is constant. Once you have implemented a plan, it must be monitored for progress. Your Planner will help you identify those adjustments that need to be made for differing economic, legal or life events.
