Financial Planning Lessons from Republic Day Independence Day

May 6, 2012 By

Article by Ramalingam K

India obtained its independence from British Rule on 15th August 1947. India became independent and wants to develop and prosper with its own decisions.
Constitution
Though we are independent, we were not having our own constitution. Without constitution it is difficult to take the right decisions for growth. So we needed our own constitution which will be the principles and guidelines, based on which we will be able to take the right decisions at the right time. Constitution also deals with the procedures and methodology of taking decisions.
Republic Day
The Constitution of India came into effect on 26th Jan 1950 which we call it as Republic Day. Since 1950 we were able to continuously grow with the guidance from our Constitution. Without an effective constitution, this exponential growth could have become impossible.
Amendments
So far we have made 96 amendments in our constitution in the last 62 years. Amendments make the constitution more dynamic and implementable in the changing times.
Financially Independent
You will be financially dependent on your parents till you complete education. Once you get a job you will become financially independent. You can take your own financial and investment decisions. You may want to financially grow and achieve financial goals like buying a car, buying a property, children education and marriage, and having a comfortable retirement.
Financial Constitution
Do you have your own financial constitution? That is you need to have a set of financial principles guiding you to take the right financial and investment decisions. Without these guiding principles it is difficult for one to financially grow and achieve financial goals. This financial constitution or financial plan details the step by step procedures and methodologies of taking sound financial and investment decisions.
Illustrating a case:
Rahul would like to retire in 25 years. He would like to have (when retiring) investments which can generate lifelong, the equivalent of Rs.50000 per month and additional Rs. 2 lacs per annum at today’s costs.
A Mediocre Approach:
Rahul may choose invest now and then. He may contribute Rs.3000 in one month, Rs.15000 in another month. He may skip investments at times. So his financial picture will not be very clear. He will not know how much he will be accumulating when retiring. He will have insecurity throughout.
Financial Planning Approach:
Financial planning approach has got some principles and guidelines. These principles and guidelines are like a light house for a ship. They give you the right direction at any point in time.
Investment Principles and Guidelines in Financial Planning Approach:
1) A good investment need to generate a decent inflation adjusted return.
2) Not investing in risky avenues like stock market is also riskier.
3) When doing trading, you are not investing.
4) Asset allocation is a proven strategy to reduce the overall risk of the portfolio. Periodically rebalancing the assets will enhance the potential of wealth creation.

In the financial planning approach, the situation will be detailed with more facts. As you have well established procedures and methodologies in financial planning, you will be able to do a sound plan and course of action to be taken to achieve the financial goals.
Present Age 30
Retirement age 55
Life expectancy 85
Expected Annual Income
(Post Retirement in today’s value) 800000
Inflation 6%
Pre-retirement return 12%
Post-retirement return 8%
FV Expected Annual Income 3433497
Retirement Corpus 79582501
Required Annual Investment 596866
Required Monthly Investment 49738

If Rahul is able to invest Rs.49738 per month, he will be able to accumulate the retirement corpus easily.
Alternatively Rahul can start with Rs.22000.per month, and increase the contribution every year by 10%. Even in this method he will be able to accumulate enough towards his retirement.
Amendments Vs Review:
Financial planning reviews are what amendments to a constitution. When there is a change or deviation from our original plan, we need to do a review to control the change. The reviews of financial plan accommodate the changes and deviations and make the whole plan achievable.
When celebrating the Republic Day of our country, why don’t you create your own financial constitution /financial plan for a better prosperity?
Long live Republic.

Financial Planning Strategies – Face Your Future with Certainty

December 19, 2011 By

Article by P Mata

Questions about job stability, investments, financial security, college, mortgage payments, and retirement planning fill the heads of millions of people, and for good reason. It is perhaps due to the multiple scenarios that might happen in today’s economic environment that have many American households feeling plagued by fears about their financial futures. Probability is a way of expressing knowledge or belief that an event will occur or has occurred. In the profession of financial planning, we tend to speak about what ‘might occur or happen’ in terms of probability.

EQUANIMITY is defined by Merriam-Webster’s dictionary as having an evenness of mind especially under stress.

When it comes to building a secure financial future for the average investor, equanimity is possible; in fact, there is a proven process for going beyond probability to certainty. This level of certainty is where your mental state of being is considered to be one without doubt. With careful management and planning of financial assets, one can greatly affect the well-being and happiness of the entire family. There is no better way to ensure a lifetime free from worry and a retirement enjoyed in fiscal security than procuring the advice and assistance of a highly-skilled, trusted financial advisor. It should be noted that building wealth with certainty is a proactive process that requires your full attention and cooperation at every step. Let’s lay the foundation by reviewing some of the fundamentals inherent in having a winning financial planning philosophy.

The Value of Asset Protection Planning

Working hard and investing well can amass wealth, but to enjoy your wealth and nurture its growth, you must protect it. Asset protection planning is the process of investing and distributing your wealth to protect it from possible future judgments or creditors that may attempt to lay claim to your hard-earned nest egg. By establishing trusts, planning your estate, and developing a proactive plan for strong and secure investments, your advisor can help ensure that you have the layered protection required to keep your wealth safe. Throughout this entire process, a financial advisor is more than a professional, but becomes a confidante in whom you develop trust. Over the course of decades, your advisor will counsel you and watch over your wealth with a zealousness and care that mirrors your own.

How Does it Work?

Consider the immense effort that you have expended to build your business, earn your salary, or build your stock portfolio. A single unforeseen event, even one with only a distant relationship to your business or job, can unleash a string of creditors attempting to collect money, and your wealth may rest directly in their sights. Based on the nature of your assets, your advisor crafts an asset protection plan by leveraging different practices, from establishing trusts and structuring the proper business formation to tax planning and distancing your wealth from the reach of courts or collection agencies. By using the law to your advantage, your advisor can make it difficult, if not impossible, for any creditor to take control of your assets. Ultimately, the creditors or fraudsters will abandon their pursuit of your wealth, trying to find money elsewhere while leaving your assets untouched.

Certain Wealth Creation

This close relationship with your financial advisor also offers the certainty of wealth creation, even in a shaky and often tumultuous economy. One of the hardest parts of building personal wealth, regardless of income or general expenditure, is the uncertainty about the best ways to invest hard-earned money. With the state of the market and the news about financial institutions across the nation, how can you know for certain that your money will be safe and that it will reap dividends on your investments? Asset protection not only establishes your wealth safely out of the line of fire of creditors or unnecessary risks, it also diversifies your assets and allows you to invest in areas with strong yields and certain returns. With this sort of preconceived and thorough plan to enter the marketplace at opportune times, you can rest comfortably in the knowledge that your widely-invested portfolio will reap rewards for you and your children for many years to come.

Track your Progress toward your Goals

A strong financial plan, in addition to creating wealth and protecting it, will help you keep track of it. Few things are more difficult than coordinating vast sheets of numbers, and with data as important as your finances, you do not want to misplace this vital information. The best financial advisors will help you create a single cohesive plan and portfolio snapshot of your investments and bill payments. With today’s advanced user-friendly web technology, a good firm will take into account all the variables, using a private, secure, personalized web portal to view all your financial assets. Armed with this accessible and easily-digestible base of knowledge, you and your advisor can leverage the tools to make the best decisions for your future.

Financial planning success lasts a generation, great success lasts for generations.

Asset protection planning is about far more than simply maintaining your wealth or even seeing steady growth over the years. Studies have shown that those who have a written financial plan for retirement feel more confident and ready to enjoy their newfound freedom from the daily routine of a work-a-day job. Instead, it offers a way for you and your family to enjoy your wealth, resting confident in the viability of your assets to support you as you retire and enjoy your golden years. With the lifelong partnership you will have with your financial consultant, a comprehensive approach to finances will reap rewards that you can pass on to your children and grandchildren with confidence. Careful and diligent estate planning is the best way to give your family a perpetual gift of your love and care that will continue to provide for them for years. This is the greatest benefit of financial planning: the knowledge that regardless of life’s unexpected events, both you and your family will have your assets protected and ready to support you throughout your lives.

Investing without Financial Plan and Goals

December 13, 2011 By

Article by Christopher KT Chew

Investing is a serious activity and many of us are oftentimes not qualified nor experienced to make wise investment decisions without help. This article will discuss a most important pre-requisite to making wise investments, viz. the need for SMART goals and a comprehensive financial plan.

As a licenced financial planner and a business and financial advisor to small and medium companies, I am often asked to give investment tips or advice. Whether I am a fantastic investment guru or tipster or not is immaterial as I would always avoid answering such questions without knowing and understanding the financial background, status and financial goals of the questioner. This article is not intended to be a primer in investing or financial planning as one can select a book on the subject in any good high street or online bookstore. Rather, I would like to share what I consider to be the top amongst the many pre-requisites an investor should consider before making an investment decision.

Planning in general is an activity we engage in all the time – planning for a holiday, planning for a wedding, or planning for any other event or planning to achieve a particular objective. However, how many of us really get involved in developing a truly comprehensive personal financial plan and implement the same? If not, why not?
The Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc (CFPBSI) defines financial planning as “the process of meeting your life goals through the proper management of your finances”. Life goals are goals dear to us that we would like see come to pass, especially during our lifetime. Such goals can be as simple as saving to buy a car or for a cruise around the world, or a bit more challenging in investing to mitigate the effects of inflation in planning for retirement.

In goal setting, it is imperative that we be rational and do not set goals that will be too difficult to achieve in the timeframe required else we can be truly discouraged and discard the plan altogether. Thus, it is good to follow the SMART principle, taught in Management 101, which states that our goals should be Specific (say, save to buy our particular dream car), Measurable (say, save ,000 to buy a car), Achievable (say, plan to buy a car costing a sum we can afford), Realistic (as in planning to buy a car and not a trip to the moon although it can come true for some), and Timely (say, achievable within a reasonable time period).

Knowing our SMART financial goals will enable us to plan how to achieve them. If we are not sure how to develop a financial plan that is workable for us, we can seek the services of a financial planner. A point to note is to ensure that we consult a financial planner that is adequately qualified (say, having the CFPBSI’s Certified Financial Planner certification that is recognized worldwide) and experienced (and perhaps licenced to practice as a financial planner by the appropriate authorities to ensure accountability and ethical behavior).

In summary, the above is what I consider the essential pre-requisite to investing and the others perhaps can be the subject of a follow-up article by this writer. A last piece of advice is to re-emphasise the fact that we should not make any investment decisions that can adversely impact our financial well-being until we have a sound financial plan, and if professional advice is required, do always consult a qualified and licenced financial planner to help develop one’s personal financial plan. Always remember this well-known adage – FAILING TO PLAN IS PLANNING TO FAIL.

July 25, 2011 By

Financial planning involves drawing up a comprehensive plan for all your life’s events. It should take into consideration protection, savings, retirement and your investment needs. A financial plan involves determining your financial goals, purposes and priorities in life. After considering your financial resources, risk profile and current lifestyle, you can draw up a financial plan that will detail a realistic approach as to how you will achieve your goals. If you struggle, as many do, with evolving a family financial plan, here are a few tips you may find helpful. The key is in identifying your goals and in sticking to your plan, even if it means exercising self-restraint in giving up an enjoyment today.

Tips on creating an effective financial plan

Identify your short term and long term financial goals.

Assess your present financial position.

Analyze your financial and relevant non-financial situation.

Evolve a financial plan. Based on your future financial goals and your current financial status, draw up a plan that would help you facilitate the achievement of your goals.

Implement your financial plan and the strategies you have adopted to achieve your life purposes.

Periodic reviewing of your financial plan should be undertaken not only to make sure you are aligning yourself to the plan, but also to make any necessary changes to reflect significant changes to your situation.

A financial plan should cover all areas of your financial needs and should result in the achievement of your goals. The scope should cover areas such as risk management and insurance techniques that would protect your goals against any unforeseen calamity. It should also cover the education needs of your children.

Your plan should be proactive enough to accommodate unexpected financial events that may have negative impact on your plan. When evolving your financial plan, make sure you don’t miss out anything, particularly a sound life insurance policy.

A sound financial plan should include life insurance

Life is uncertain. Therefore, insuring yourself against major calamities of life, particularly an inevitable one such as death, should be an important element of sound financial planning. Insurance can protect you and your family against accidents, the colossal cost of a grave illness, disability and death.

Consider what a life insurance policy can do for your family. When you die, life insurance can provide a surviving spouse, children and other dependents with enough money to sustain the standard of living that have grown accustomed to. It can also help to repay any debts that you have left behind. Death benefits can also be used to cover education fees of your children, or build a retirement fund for your spouse.

What type of life insurance is best for you?

Life insurance is a necessity if you have a spouse and family to take care of. There is no one-size-fits-all policy and therefore life insurance decisions need to be taken carefully and are dependent on your age, the number of dependents you have and your personal economic situation. One type of life insurance is not better than the other. You need to choose the type of life insurance that best suits your situation depending on your personal and financial circumstances. You can consult a life insurance advisor or use many of the online life insurance providers for advice on the best life insurance policy that would suit your personal situation.

There are two broad types of life insurance available:

Term life insurance – This is the most affordable type of life insurance. As the name indicates, term life insurance covers your life insurance needs for a specific term period such as 10, 20 or 30 years. For most people, financial needs diminish over time. Most people need life insurance coverage when they are young and starting a family. At this time, there are debts and future financial expenses such as mortgage or a child’s education. Term life insurance is designed to meet temporary life insurance needs.
Permanent life insurance – Permanent life insurance offers lifelong protection and also has a savings component attached to it. Over a long period of time, this type of life insurance will accrue cash benefits.

There are several different types of life insurance even within permanent and term life insurance. However, most people prefer term life insurance since it is the most affordable and suits their needs for coverage at crucial periods in their lives.

Best Term Life Insurance Providers

You can find the best term life insurance through online life insurance providers. They can provide you with instant term life insurance quotes and offer personal service to you. These life insurance professionals are unbiased and objective. They can answer your questions, identify important issues and make meaningful recommendations.
