Financial Planning
If you don’t have a map, any road will do. If you want to arrive at your financial destination on time, and not worn out from the journey, a personalized financial plan, just like up to date GPS navigation tools, will help you get there.
Your financial plan will be your road map to help you navigate the variables that will affect your financial security, such as
- Lifestyle Spending
- Investment Performance
- Inflation
- Tax Strategies*
- Geo-politics
- Your Health
- Longevity
As you are on the road to retirement and beyond, take charge of the planning process, with the help of your advisor, so that you can better manage the journey and stay focused on your financial future.
Financial Planning Process
Step 1: Understanding Your Investment Goals and Objectives
The first meeting is to get to know you and you family's goals as well as an opportunity for you to ask questions about Capital Street and the financial planning process. We will describe the planning process in detail based on your unique needs. As you know, there is no charge for that meeting, nor any obligation to move forward.
Step 2: Gathering Information and Building a Draft of Your Financial Plan
Prior to our second meeting, we will request additional information and documents to build a draft of your financial plan. At that meeting, we will discuss when you would like to retire, at what income level, accounting for the variables that will affect your financial security in retirement, like taxes, inflation, government fiscal and monetary policy, investment markets and your health. If you are curious about any other type of investment, policy, or asset that you own, feel free to bring it up at this meeting.
Step 3: Recommendation and Implementation
At the third meeting, We will go over your final plan output and a detailed executive summary with recommendations. This version will create a benchmark against which to compare possible results in future years. This process helps make the projections more accurate over time.
Step 4: Ongoing Review
We will establish a regular review cycle to update your plan and explore developments which may affect your plan, and ensure you are on-track to realize your financial goals.
