What is a Financial Planner?

Financial Planners aren’t just for the super wealthy. They help you look the range of options available in cash savings, investments and pensions to help you plan the lifestyle you want. Think of it as ‘future proofing’ your financial health

Why bother?

‘Now’ is always a good time to get a handle on your finances and make sure you’re on track to meet your goals. It’s probably been a while since you took out a pension, life insurance or mortgage, and its never a bad idea to review what you’ve got in place

What do I need to know?

Firstly you need to think about what you want your financial future to look like. Financial planners can help you understand long term financial wealth and retirement provisions, but you’ll need to decide on your own attitude to risk and the types of investments you’re looking for

The bottom line

Whether you are looking for an investment to grow your capital or to provide a regular investment income (or both) when you develop a financial plan, it’s critical to keep in mind all the risks that could derail it
