How to recognise Good Financial Advice
- Great investing advice is transparent – Transparency is the key operator here as good investment advice means eliminating hidden or mysterious fees and obscured relationships. No kick back from a fund manager in terms of rebate or a network that may influence the advisers decisions through corporate governance that may lead to poor outcomes for the investor.
- Great investing advice is independent. Everyone wins when we put investors first, and conflicted advice is a sure path to loss of trust and diminishing returns. In an information age we respect our clients, we stand on our values of transparency, integrity, and stake our reputation on the advice we give.
- Great investing advice is personal. There’s no such thing as a one-size-fits-all financial plan—there’s no way a strategy designed for mass consumption can account for every variable in someone’s life. But individualised plans are now within reach for everyday investors, thanks to latest technology deployed in our business and strategies that let people invest in a way that aligns with not just their financial goals, but their values as well.
- Great investing advice is patient. Great financial plans don’t just consider today; they consider tomorrow and 20 years from tomorrow. Great advice is built for the long term, because time is one of the most powerful investing tools, and long-term relationships create certainty and trust.
- Great investing advice is inspiring. Talking about money is intensely personal, and that’s a great opportunity to energise and motivate investors toward their goals. Our behavioral scientists have found that people become more engaged in their financial lives if they can visualise the results of success, and great advice gives them the details that enable them to do that.
- Great investing advice is straightforward. This is our ability to make complex investment information easy to understand and easy to consider. Investors should be able to understand where they are and how they’re doing without deciphering jargon or digging through a pile of spreadsheets. Have a look at our investment jargon or glossary post as an aid memoir that back up our belief of keeping it simple.
- Great investing advice is visionary. Every day it seems like there’s a new investing fad or can’t-miss stock tip being pushed by pundits; all too often they’re just bad, old ideas dressed in new clothes. Great advice stays on top of the latest research, data, and possibilities so investors can seize new advantages as they arise.
