Sherwood OR Financial Planning Made Easy

By Katy Parfait


Managing finances involves much more than doing a budget. It should include taking advantage of available opportunities to multiply what you have by making viable investments and avoiding mistakes that can be costly. The average person does not know all the options out there and current trends that dictate when to put in money to make returns or pull out to avoid losses. A Sherwood financial advisor does and they are best placed to help one to make good decisions.

There is a common false belief that only those who have resources to invest need and can afford the services of a planner. It is actually the other way round. It is those who are struggling with finances or with limited resources that actually need them more.

It is also important to collaborate with such a professional because circumstances keep changing which changes situations in terms of finances. Divorce, loss of income, increased income, coming across an inheritance or a child starting college impacts finances. Getting the correct financial bearings at some critical moments is very important.

Choosing who to talk to can be confusing. There are chartered analysts, chartered consultants, certified planners, personal finance planners and chartered life underwriters. Unless there are special needs, the ideal person to advice on personal finance is a certified financial planner.

Their fee is another factor to consider. Planners works on the basis of fee only, fee with commission, fee offset or commission only. Those who make commissions make them on products and services they sell clients such as mutual funds and insurance policies. Others charge a fee to give you information and make a commission on what you buy from them while others offset their commission against their flat fee. Others work on commission basis only.

The approach of the Sherwood financial advisor is that they will work with you depending on your situation. They will draw up a plan to take you from where you are to get you to your aspired financial destination. They will also give you payment options that will give you see returns for what you invest in them.
