Financial planning follows a Six Step Planning Process, as follows:Goal SettingData GatheringFinancial AnalysisPlan Formulation and RecommendationsPlan ImplementationMonitoring and Plan ReviewAt Investors Group we don't miss a single step. Professional advisors need specialized tools, and as an Investors Group Consultant, I use the Personal Financial Planner (PFP) which is a comprehensive financial planning tool that helps me develop a personalized financial plan for you.
Before we jump right into this presentation and begin discussing tax planning, I want to take a minute to go over some of these key points. It is important to me that you are aware of these details before we start – details that I hope all advisors are talking to you about.First, we are going to be talking about many ideas today but, before you decide to act, it is critical that we review your specific situation. Everyone is different so what works for some may not be as applicable to others.Second, this is what I do for a living. If we decide in the future to work together it is important to me that you are aware of how investments and plans work, any fees that might be associated with them, and how I get paid. We have plenty of material that I can share with you that spells it all out very clearly.(Go over disclaimers)Now that we’ve gone over that, let’s begin by talking about the importance of the financial planning process…(Note to Consultant)If you are licensed with Investors Group Financial Services Inc. (Mutual Fund Dealers Association – MFDA) use line one of the disclaimers listed above. If you are licensed with Investors Group Securities Inc. (Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada - IIROC) use line two of the disclaimers. Delete the dealer line that is not applicable.
