While those who have experienced the value of a wealth professional could speak for hours on the benefits they receive, many are sadly yet to experience the impact financial security has on their lifestyle possibilities.But now the value is official. Russell Investments have conducted research which reveals some very interesting statistics*.We hear so many new clients talk about how they thought advice from a Financial Adviser was all about how to invest money. And now, the Value of an Adviser report reveals value beyond investment advice, asset allocation, correcting behavioral mistakes, adequately managing clients’ cash holdings, settings and monitoring goals and tax structuring.The report reveals that Financial Advisers generate a higher average return of 2.2 per cent per year for clients by ensuring assets are bought and sold are certain times in the market cycle. The percentage may sound small for some, but compound that year on year, and the long-term impact is staggering. It is normal human behavior to speculate, as opposed to invest for the future. Click here to read more about speculation vs investing. And here to learn more about the impact emotional investment decision making can have.Another 1.5 per cent is generated through ensuring investments made in tax efficient structures such as super. This is such an important point. There are 4 structures that assets can be held in. Personally, in a company, within superannuation, within a family trust. Each one has their pros and cons and interestingly, each structure has a different tax rate that is applied. Do you know which structure best suits your circumstances and will support you to achieve your goals?Asset allocation basics such as the correct investment option in the super fund, showed to generate a higher 0.9 per cent and a further 0.6 per cent through diversifying a client’s cash and fixed income holdings. From defensive to growth to accelerated growth and a combination of them all, the options are a plenty. And knowing which one best suit you can be outrageously difficult. But get this part right, and you are well on your way to achieving financial milestones you may not have dreamt possible. Again, the question is… do you know which one best suits your circumstances and will support you to achieve your goals?
From these figures, around 3.1 per cent is gained through asset allocation and adviser coaching on investing behaviors, timing, and decisions. People in general are emotional about their money. And for good reason, life without it is extremely difficult. Making well-informed financial decisions during all marketing conditions and personal circumstances is where the most value is from. So having financial experts remaining by your side throughout your journey has value far beyond the 3.1 percent quoted. You can’t quantify the emotional value that good financial advice provides. Peace of mind, lifestyle choice and the confidence that comes with financial success.Wealth advice may be largely based on numbers; however, the true value of advice can be felt in the personal aspect of the client - financial adviser relationship.When working with a Financial Adviser on a long-term strategy to achieve lifestyle goals, and with frequent review appointment to ensure the strategy stays in the best interest long-term, your lifestyle is just the beginning.If you would like some help, invite us along on your financial journey, we are confident of just how far our expert guidance can take you.
