The Path to a Financial Plan

Wooden pathway in the woods Creating your financial plan involves compiling your assets and goals and creating a long-term strategy to help ensure your financial future is secure. A financial adviser can help guide you in creating a financial plan. Whether you’d like to invest and grow your net worth or spend every penny, a financial adviser can walk you through the following essential steps to building a personalised plan.

Set Your Goals

Your retirement plan begins with you and your goals—what you want to do, how much that will likely cost and any additional goals you may have for your money. Fisher Investments UK can support your retirement planning journey by reviewing your current financial plan, income and expenses, and help you build a long-term investing strategy to meet your objectives.

Understand Your Spending

A thorough financial plan accounts for what you need to spend and how you’ll get the money for it in a tax-efficient manner. It will aim to use the various tax allowances and annual exemptions available to you, often through a combination of pension income and investment income. A sound investment plan can help your assets last longer—and even grow—through retirement.

Define Your Time Horizon

How long will you need your money working for you? It may be longer than you think. Your retirement planning process includes many factors that may extend beyond your lifetime. Plan ahead to avoid surprises later.

Plan for Emergencies

Understand how an emergency fund factors into your financial plan. Retirement planning includes the expected and unforeseen costs of life. A financial adviser like Fisher Investments UK can help you be ready for both.

Getting Started with Financial Planning

Financial planning can be daunting. It often helps to understand where to start the process. Fisher Investments UK believes the financial planning process should start with a detailed understanding of your current financial situation. Here’s how.

You’ll want to take stock of both sides of your financial ledger—assets and liabilities. This will help you determine your current net worth and overall financial health. You can start with your financial assets, then compile the values of notable personal property—anything from cars to jewellery.

After reconciling your assets, review your debts to understand how much you owe. The most common items in this category are mortgages and credit card debt. Make sure to account for every kind of debt you have.

Next, you can evaluate your budget, both income and expenses, to help you project what your future cash flow needs may be in retirement, including possible large expenses such as purchasing a holiday home, funding education or gifting to family members.

Once you have a detailed picture of your current financial situation, financial goals and you have evaluated your cash flows, you can begin to create a personalised financial plan. Fisher Investments UK can formulate this plan for you, offering UK-regulated financial advice to help you save and invest tax efficiently as you approach and throughout your retirement.
