A financial advisor is an individual with whom you work when you begin a wealth management plan. Your financial advisor will guide your wealth management accounts and update you on your goal progress.
Financial advisors differ from other financial service providers in that they offer comprehensive service. As you navigate your financial situation, you’ll find some companies or contractors exclusively offer financial insight while others focus solely on executing financial strategies. A financial advisor is capable of both informing your strategy and providing the services that put it into motion.
When you work with a financial planner, they will analyze your financial situation, collaborate with you on developing a set of goals and design a set of strategies that work toward them. Financial advisors are capable of guiding you through retirement planning, estate planning, tax planning, saving, investing, debt management, securing insurance coverage and more.
If you’re contemplating a financial decision, working with a financial advisor is always advisable.
Planning and executing a wealth management strategy takes a lot of work, and it takes experience to get the results you want to see. If you’re like many investors, you have more than enough on your schedule to fill your days. You’re better off using your time and energy in other aspects of your life rather than learning the ins and outs of complex financial issues.
Even if you are a financial expert, receiving an outside perspective on your situation can help you develop and enact successful strategies.
Whether you’re a movie or financial guru, there are numerous ways you can benefit from partnering with a financial advisor. Your consultant can help you:
A financial advisor will give you an objective assessment of your situation and ways forward. We recommend pursuing wealth management when you are interested in furthering your understanding of your financial situation and the options available to you.
There are numerous situations where you can benefit from a financial advisor’s wealth management services. You should consult a financial advisor before making major decisions or undergoing a significant life change. Financial advisors can also help you organize your finances and give you peace of mind if you’re feeling overwhelmed.
Here are some times when starting or updating your wealth management strategy with a financial advisor is most critical:
Moving forward with wealth management services is a wise decision as long as you choose the right financial advisor. There are a few elements to consider that differentiate the best financial advisors from others. It’s important to research and speak with potential financial advisors before choosing. The following areas are important to consider:
Some financial advisors rise above the competition to provide the best wealth management services for high-net-worth individuals. At PeoplesBank, we’re confident that every member of our financial advisor team has what it takes to improve your financial situation. Choose a financial advisor with:
There are a few places to look if you need a financial advisor. Robo-advisors and online advisors are available over the Internet, but many investors value a face-to-face relationship with their consultant. Research independent consultants and prominent financial institutions in your area to find consultants with ample resources and a reputation you can trust.
Whether you’ve been with your financial advisor for decades or you only recently signed on, you may eventually want to move on to someone else. There are a few reasons why you’d consider changing financial advisors. Poor communication is one of the most prominent. Communication can make or break the level of trust and confidence you have in your financial advisor.
If your current consultant fails to communicate thoroughly or in a timely fashion, you should take your business elsewhere. A seamless relationship between advisor and consultant is vital. Feeling uncomfortable communicating with your advisor is an equally valid reason to leave. PeoplesBank’s local advisors proudly maintain open, honest relationships with clients.
Beyond communication, you should switch advisors if yours fails to produce the results you’d like to see. A good advisor should be full of actionable ideas for how you can improve your financial situation, and those ideas should lead to measurable change. If your portfolio consistently underperforms compared to the current markets, you should look for a fresh perspective.
If you’re considering leaving your financial advisor and wondering how to switch to a new one, you’ll want to take a few steps to save time and protect your money.
First, read your contract’s fine print and talk to your advisor to see if you can leave without paying a termination fee or penalty. Then, obtain your financial records from the old advisor and transfer them to the new advisor. Federal law requires advisors to transfer all records when you switch firms.
Hoping to avoid an uncomfortable situation? Your next financial advisor can obtain closure for you. After confirming that you can leave without a substantial fee for transferring, ask your new advisor to gather any records and assets from the prior consultant on your behalf.
