WHY SHOULD YOU HIRE A FINANCIAL PLANNER??
- FINANCIAL ADVISORS HAVE THE EXPERTISE

- YOU CAN DELEGATE YOUR FINANCIAL TASKS
Our life has got extremely busy nowadays and because of various other responsibilities we often do not get time to plan out our finances. The irony is that people spend 8 hours a day to earn money but they do not spare 10 minutes a week to device a plan to manage it.
We as Financial Planner have seen the harsh reality where crores of rupees are stuffed into the savings account of individuals only because they do not have the time to manage it.
Financial Planners can come in handy at this point of time because they will figure out ways to invest your ideal money so that it grows at the same time ensuring you have enough liquidity to meet any emergencies.
A Financial Planner can help you strike a perfect balance in your portfolio by allocating your wealth in various asset classes as per your need. Why not delegate tasks whenever possible?
Even the tops athletes of the world need a coach in order to keep them motivated and make sure that they are at the top of their game and see to it that momentum is not being lost.
- FINANCIAL ADVISORS PLACE CLIENTS INTEREST FIRST-
To make it clear at the start, I am not saying that all the financial planners in the industry place their client’s interest first however talking from the perspective of the entire industry (except a few) I believe that Financial Planners have always placed their client’s interest first.
The main goal of the financial planner is to make sure he is able to achieve the financial goal of his client and not to earn profits for him. You will get un-biased advice from Financial Planners.
Before selecting a Financial Planner, it is imperative that you do your own study regarding the background of the financial planner and try to get some references before taking a final decision.
- FINANCIAL PLANNERS INFLUENCE YOUR FINANCIAL BEHAVIOUR
We often have the mentality to chase quick money and if we see certain stocks performing well, we instantly rush in to buy the stocks based on tips and recommendations only to realize that you have lost it all.
Financial Planners help us to keep our Financial Behavior in check by warning us of the possible dangers of chasing quick money, the theory advocated by them is “Don’t try to time the market, rather invest with discipline regularly”
Financial Planners also advocate the theory of keeping emotions aside while investing thus preventing you from withdrawing from the market when panic sets in and it starts to fall.
