Goal Based Financial Planning
Retirement Planning
Retirement planning is the process of determining retirement income goals and the actions and decisions necessary to achieve those goals. Retirement planning includes identifying sources of income, estimating expenses, implementing a savings program and managing assets. Future cash flows are estimated to determine if the retirement income goal will be achieved.
Remember that retirement planning starts long before you retire — the sooner, the better. Your “magic number,” the amount you need to retire comfortably, is highly personalised, but there are numerous rules of thumb that can give you an idea of how much to save.
Family Protection
Family Protection is a type of life insurance that allows you to secure your family’s financial future in the event of your death. It can be a level term insurance which means it pays out to your dependants if you die within a fixed term. The premium stays the same (as does the pay-out) whether you die on the first or the last day of the policy.
Family protection is a must for those with dependants relying on you financially. Family protection provides you with peace of mind that even without you, your dependants financial security is taken care of. The lump sum payment can be used to cover mortgage repayments, credit card debts or even weekly shopping bills.
Child Education Planning
As a parent, nothing is perhaps more important that ensuring a secure future for your child. Child Education Planning is means of securing your child’s future.
A Child education plan is primarily for the ongoing education of your child, from the time they enter school till the time they graduate out of college, ready to take on life. At predetermined maturity millstones funding is made available at definite periods to pay for your child’s growing education needs.
Child Marriage Planning
Child Marriage is a major financial goal for which every parent wants to plan. Though the exact age of marriage and expenses can’t be ascertained to perfection, however, one can always refer to general expenses incurred on marriage and create a fund that may support Child’s Marriage in future.
Start planning from the moment the pregnancy is confirmed for your Child’s Better Future.
