ARE FINANCIAL ADVISORS REALLY WORTH IT?
is it really worth it to pay the fees and invest in a quality financial advisor?
We will take a look into a few duties of a financial advisor as well as the benefits of having one for yourself!
SO, WHAT DOES A FINANCIAL ADVISOR ACTUALLY DO?
Contrary to what you may believe, our job is not purely to send you this email once a month.
An advisor has multiple different roles and functions to fulfil, such as:
Conduct in depth research of different financial markets and products
Seeing to clients queries and concerns as and when they arrive
Monitoring client’s investments and reviewing their portfolio on an annual basis thereafter providing calculated recommendations to address identified shortfalls
Drawing up a detailed financial needs analysis to properly plan for a client’s financial future
Planning to secure a client’s family for the day he/she will no longer be around
Helping a client reach his/her financial goals via the use of professional advice and expert planning
Being a financial advisor can be strange at times when you think about it…
If a physical trainer charges a fee to get your body into shape its fine
When a doctor charges a fee to keep you healthy it is totally understandable
When an advisor takes something of a percent from a client’s investment to ensure it grows as best as possible, that fee is seen as too much!
With that being said. Like any other profession, sometimes a few sketchy individuals can leave a bad name for the industry as a whole. One of the most important aspects of having or being an advisor is building a good and trusting relationship with one’s clients.
In the end, the decision to use a financial advisor is up to you. Your financial future is in your own hands, We are just here to make sure you don’t have to carry it alone.
