Financial Planning Services – Part 3

In this final part we’ll look at the last couple of products or services that financial planners can help you with. These services can be extremely helpful to your financial future and are well worth considering.

Managed Funds

These products are designed for less savvy investors or investors with small amounts of capital. Professionals identify and invest in a range of investment vehicles on the funds behalf. There are many different funds out there and it’s important to understand the objectives of the fund, their investment strategy (cash, property and shares), and the management fees payable.

A financial planner can help you identify the right funds for your situation. Just be careful as some funds offer incentives to financial planners for being recommended.

Gearing

Gearing refers to the use of Debt and/or equity to invest. If the net return from an investment is up then you said to be positively geared. If you are losing money on an investment (ie cost is more than income) then you are said to be negatively geared. This is a very simplified explanation and there are benefits to both but this is what a Financial Planner can help you with.

Wealth Creation

A financial planner helps balance: Risk, Income & Capital Gains.

Financial Education

Some financial planners can even teach you how to be financially literate as a specific service.

Even if they don’t offer a specific course, you will learn a lot from a Financial Planner and they should be able to explain their recommendations so that you know what’s happening with your money. This is not something where ignorance is bliss.

Summary

There are so many options and opportunities to grow and protect your financial assets. Financial Planners have a range of expertise and can help you choose the right products for your financial future. The key is to make sure that you get along with them and can trust them to provide you with sound advice that will set you on the path to financial freedom.
