What is Financial Planning

July 21st 2022 | Categories: Should I See An Adviser | Financial Planning |

Financial planning is much more than choosing products and investment funds. At Invest Blue financial planning it is about creating a plan that is designed to empower you to live your best possible life.

Financial planning all starts with a conversation about you, your values, goals and dreams. From there we can look into reviewing your current situation and look for opportunities to help you get ahead.  

What Is A Financial Plan?

Australian Investments and Securities Commission (ASIC)* says a good financial plan should:

• Summarise your financial position.
• List your goals.
• Explain how you will reach those goals.
• Show how carefully chosen investments mesh together as working parts of your overall strategy.
• Disclose and explain any risks and how they can be overcome.
• State all the costs.
