More Planning, More Money
How much value does a plan add?
Both scenarios start with $500K and have an average return of 6%, but by adding 1.75% in planning value, it equates to more money in your investment account. | From a study conducted by the Financial Planning Standards Council, only 32% of Canadian have any type of financial plan, limited or comprehensive. Yet Canadians who engage in comprehensive financial planning report significantly higher levels of financial and emotional well-being than those who do no planning or limited planning. Further to this piece of mind, it has been found that having a plan that is followed and updated by an advisor can add 1-2.5% to your rate of return annually. Having a plan matters! While 1-2.5% may not seem like much, that compounded over time adds up to a lot of money! And what's even better, unlike the markets, having and following a plan can be controlled. As they say, failing to plan is planning to fail. Contact us today to help you create a complimentary plan.
