Goal-Based Financial Planning, as the name suggests is a process wherein your goals are assessed, your existing investments are linked and a plan established to bridge the shortfall. When this plan is connected to your risk appetite, it provides a customized solution that is unique.
At its simplest it is a map to reach your goals. Everyone wants to make and have more money but money is not the goal. Money is a tool that enables you to reach your life goals.
Do you want to retire early so you can travel? Are you consumed with credit cards and want to live debt-free? Do you want to ensure your children’s education is taken care of? These are life goals that require a financial plan to reach them.
