Life Planning to ensure that your wealth will satisfy all your goals and last a lifetime


Financial life planning is a structured process of understanding your current financial state, your future goals and money needs and coming up with appropriate interventions that will ensure that your wealth lasts a lifetime. Some of the questions that are answered during this process are
  • Will I have enough money for my retirement and will it last a lifetime?
  • How will my Net Worth and my Income change over time in the future?
  • What expenses will I have in the future?
  • What will be my living expenses in the future?
  • How much money will I be saving each year?
  • How will Inflation and taxes impact my plan?
  • What is the ideal asset allocation for my life needs?
  • How will my Investments grow over time?
  • When will I have to start withdrawing money from my investments to support my living expenses?
  • Do I have adequate live insurance and health insurance coverage?

In short, individuals at every life stage who aspire to achieve certain goals in the future can plan for realizing such goals with the process of Personal Financial Planning. In order to make it easy to remember, we have codified the most common life stages into the 4 Ps of Personal Financial Planning - namely Provision, Prevention, Protection and Profusion.

Personal Financial planning for us is a two-step process.
  • In the first step you provide us details about your current financial situation in a template provided by us. Based on this information we create your financial life plan and after discussing it with you, we fine-tune and finalize it.
  • Once this is done, we create a financial action plan for you in the second step from the life plan.

Our Financial Life planning process

  • We start by sending you two excel templates, one for understanding your risk profile and another for understanding your current financial status
  • In the financial status sheet you will need to diclose your income, assets, savings, goals, expenses, liabilities, insurance, etc. All information so disclosed is held by us in the strictest confidence. We use this information solely for the purpose of creating a life plan for you and nothing else.
  • We also request your PAN details for the purpose of a KYC check
  • We collate all the information that you provide us and after checking it for errors we start the process of creating your life plan
  • In addition to the information you have provided us, we use reasonable estimates for parameters such as inflation, tax rates and expected short term and long term investment returns. You have the right to override our estimates for these numbers with your own numbers
  • We mail you the first draft of the life plan and solicit your feedback.
  • You review the life plan for correctness and completeness and inform us about any changes. We thus finalize the life plan in a couple of iterations
  • The life plan so created will clearly answer all the questions mentioned above
