Everyone’s Financial Security should be planned. It does not
simply happen, but takes long-term commitment to goals and
aspirations. We offer professional advice, whilst taking a
personal interest in our clients´ needs.
We provide holistic financial advice and use the
internationally accepted ‘Six Step Financial Planning Process’:
-
Establish and define a professional relationship.
-
Gather data and determine goals and objectives.
-
Analyse and evaluate individual financial needs,
objectives and affordability.
-
Research and propose financial planning recommendations
and alternatives.
-
Implement the financial planning recommendations.
-
Monitor service and review ongoing needs and
recommendations, which may or may not include a full financial
analysis, depending on requirements and personal
circumstances.
We like to familiarise ourselves with each situation:
gathering as much information as possible to outline a
tailor-made course of action and applicable fees. Clients also
need to feel comfortable with whom they are dealing, as well as
our approach, services and strategies.
When financial advisers are aligned to a particular group
such as a bank or institution they are obliged, to a large
degree, to use in-house products and services that may not have
the most appropriate solution. In addition, these layered
products are often substantially more expensive. Our
independence allows us to select the most appropriate product
for our clients, and to deal directly with providers to minimise
costs.
The Certified Financial Planner CFP® qualification is the
pinnacle qualification of the financial planning industry. It is
a post graduate diploma issued by the University of the Free
State. All our financial planners have this qualification or are
studying towards it.
