Does Someone You Know Need a Financial Second Opinion?

Does Someone You Know Need a Financial Second Opinion?

When the markets are as volatile and confusing as they have been over the past several years, even the most patient investors may come to question the wisdom of the investment plan they have been following.

On top of that, life changes may have come their way, altering their financial priorities. They may be curious about different financial strategies or just want to make sure that their plan is still the best one for them. In order to stay committed to their plan, they need to have complete confidence that it is still working for them and taking them where they want to go.

If you can think of someone this would resonate with, a financial second opinion may be just what the doctor ordered.

A Financial Check-Up

What will a second opinion look like for your friend, colleague or family member? We’ll take the time to get to know them and their unique financial situation, ask them to outline their financial goals, and review their current plan/401k/investment portfolio/insurance, etc. so that we know where they stand, where they want to be, and so that we are on the same page with their objectives.

We can answer any questions they may have about the market, strategies, or basic financial tips and principles. Then, we can apply their concerns, ideas and aims to their current plan to see how everything lines up.

The Value Of A Second Opinion

Once we have a good overview of their financial picture, we will be able to reevaluate and readjust. If we think their investments, insurance, etc. continue to be well suited to their long-term goals despite the market turmoil, we’ll gladly tell them so and send them on their way.

If on the other hand, we think their plan no longer fits their goals, we’ll explain why, in a way they can understand. And, if they’d like, we’ll recommend some alternatives. It may be that minor adjustments are needed based on their age, current economic woes, or a change in priorities and plans.

It never hurts to take a second look at their financial plan to ensure that it is up-to-date, still applicable to all aspects of their life, and ideally suited to achieve their long-term dreams. Regardless of the outcome of our second look, they will have full confidence in us, in their decisions, and in their financial plan.
