For Investors

Financial Planning is the comprehensive evaluation of your current financial position and future goals to chalk-out a time-bound strategy for the future. It involves assessing your financial position, identifying leakages, acknowledging your goals, assessing your risk profile, designing a suitable asset allocation plan and laying down a strategy timeline to accomplish the goals.

Financial planning involves the following steps:
 

         1. Defining your financial goals and objectives

         2. Gathering your financial and personal information

         3. Developing your financial plan

         4. Implementing the plan

         5. Periodic follow-ups to ensure the plan is on track

A comprehensive financial plan takes all your financial attributes into account and provides an unbiased strategy that suits you. This includes everything from spending management to debt diagnosis, insurance planning, retirement planning, asset allocation and all other tools that facilitate financial freedom.

The best financial planner is one that not only studies you but understands you. Scanning your profile and suggesting you a popular investment option (yes yes, that one) is easy, but understanding your profile and recommending unpopular hacks that are perfect for you is what separates the best from the rest. Guess what? Recipe is here to change your definition of the ‘best financial planner’.

Quest by Finology introduces you to the basics of how to select the right mutual fund and what they won’t tell you about it!

Investing, in general, is very subjective. Which is a good fund depends mostly on your financial profile, goals and risk appetite.
