The Offering

Lifetime Financial Plan

It is very clear that over the investor’s lifecycle, the client requires a diverse set of financial services on account of changing risk profile, cash flows profile, and personal circumstances.

That said, the client is best served through a lifetime financial plan, and would mean partnering with the client, through the client’s entire lifetime.

This gives the client comfort that we are standing with the client shoulder to shoulder through the client’s entire lifetime to help them weather the financial journey. In our opinion there is no better way to deliver client value-add and establish credibility with the client.

Wealth Management and Financial Planning are often used interchangeably and interpreted as being the same. There are fundamental differences between the two services, and it is particularly relevant to have absolute clarity, especially since our offering is directly related to Financial Planning. The comparison between Wealth Management and Financial Planning is summarized across six different parameters in the following section.
