INVESTMENT ADVICE
Investment Advice is the process of identifying appropriate and tax-effective solutions according to your financial objectives and the measure of risk
you are prepared to take to achieve those objectives. Investment Planning seeks to accomplish two equally important goals that naturally conflict
with each other. The first goal is to maximize returns on investments. The second is most often to minimize investment risk. Effective investment
planning seeks to balance these two goals in all areas of the investment process so that the investor can achieve the desired outcomes. Broadly
speaking, most investors seek to achieve one or a combination of the following objectives:
- Wealth Creation
- Wealth Protection
- Income Generation
FINANCIAL PLANNING
During a comprehensive financial needs analysis we assess your financial position at death, in case of disability, trauma and retirement and provide solutions from our network of product providers. The process involves gathering relevant financial information, setting life goals, examining your current financial status and formulating a strategy or plan how to meet these goals given your current situation and future plans.
RETIREMENT PLANNING
Planning FOR Retirement:
Process that happens prior to retirement to make sure that you have sufficient savings at retirement to provide for future capital and income needs throughout your retired lifetime. The process consists of aspects such as setting goals, analyzing current provisions, the application of complex calculations and the construction of possible tax-efficient solutions to address any shortfalls.
Planning AT Retirement:
Process takes place when you decide to retire. The process consists of aspects such as an analysis of current provisions, goal setting, the application of tax and other complex calculations, cash flow (Income) forecasts, construction of tax-efficient investment solutions etc. The main focus is to make sure that your provisions are wisely invested and managed to ensure that you have sufficient capital to provide for an income through your expected retired lifetime.
