Personal Finance Consultation takes place when the client decides that he/she wants to start the journey of financial planning or managing money in a more efficient manner. This is needed to be able to reach one or multiple financial aims in their life. Typical financial aims such as preparing for the marriage, children’s tertiary/university education, starting a business, retirement (life post work) and the all crucial planning for the different stages of ageing.

We, the consultants, have the right skills and training to be able to understand your needs and financial aims. This way we can tailor a plan (be it investment plan, insurance plan or estate plan) specially for you which will fit into your current stage of life.

You can start this at any time once you are gainfully employed or have some sort of income. Simply put, once you start earning money. There is no age prerequisite for this.

Like any meaningful working relationships, you will continue to have many discussions into the future as your position or situation changes. We normally have annual reviews with our clients about their progress and portfolios.

No, there is no need to be wealthy to start this consultation however it is important to have at least some sort of income to plan for the financial future.

Savings in the bank is indeed crucial. However, putting too much money there (more than 3-6 months expenses) will also mean that inflation will erode the value of the money over time. This means your money is not working for you in the long term. Investing is the way to go if you wish to beat inflation over time.

One of the key items on our list to do is to deploy your money to investing. Investments can be simply putting your excess money into bonds or better yielding funds (compared to Fixed Deposits). Products such as Unit Trusts or Mutual Funds are suitable investments vehicles. Eg : RM100,000 in FD @ 3.5% annually for 10 year brings your savings to RM141,060. However, RM10K in 8% investment fund brings you RM215,892. There is a big difference of RM70,000 which is 50% more (RM215K vs RM141K) or 70% of your initial deposit.

* If you really cannot save money, you simply must start reading the book “In/Outcome” by the Founder Amelia Hong or read articles about starting to save. This is because typically a consultant will not be able to help you generate more money if there were no resources to work with. However, many of our consultants have helped clients to start saving money even though they couldn’t save earlier.

Certainly, insurance is a crucial component in the financial discussion. Insurance is one of the great pillars of financial planning. Without insurance, many financial goals get derailed if something happens to the person eg illnesses, accidents, disability, or even death.

Yes, you must absolutely purchase insurance as part of being a responsible person. Insurance gives you options as it covers many life issues if they should happen to you. Purchase as you go through different stages in life eg, starting out work, starting a family, increase in responsibilities and so forth. These events are normally the trigger points to insurance purchase. The only time you do not need insurance is if you do not value your life or the life of your loved ones or if perhaps you have enough money to last you for about 30-40 years of your life.

We believe that insurance should be used to protect your life. Therefore purchase one as inexpensively as possible to cover various critical issues and deploy the rest of your money to investments for your long term financial planning.

Retirement planning is to prepare for the time of your life when you have retired from work. This span of time might be typically 20-40 years (retire at 60 and pass away at age 80-100). We believe that retirement planning might not be such an appropriate phrase anymore since many people may not actually retire the moment they hit 60. Let's look at our amazing Prime Minister who went back to work at age 93! If we are to follow suit, well at least till 65 or 70, the word retirement might not hold the same meaning as before. However, one must always plan for the challenges that comes with ageing and the degeneration of health and physical ability. These are inevitable as we go along in years. In the past, we were looking at retiring at 60 and live on for another 20-40 years without any income. Hence its crucial to plan for those soon coming years.

Honestly? The moment you get some kind of income. A little focus on this area will take you a long way in this journey. In fact, many who started early will find their later years a breeze compared to their later counterparts.

Of course you can, however you may probably have to work longer to secure a more comfortable retirement or even an adequate one. And of course, it depends at what age you start the retirement planning. If you are starting in your 40s or 50s, there will be certain challenges that you will have to take special note of so that you may accelerate your accumulation and growth phase.

A will is a legal (preferably printed) document which states to whom and when you wish to give/bequeath your assets and monies to when you have passed on. This will must be signed by the testator (yourself) and two witnesses (who are not the beneficiaries nor their spouses. These witnesses are known as witnesses who are ‘disinterested’). So, think about whom you want to benefit in life after you are gone. It could be your children, spouse, certain charities or even your beloved pet.

What is young? 20s, 30s, 40s? People often wonder when a good time is to write a will. I would say that certain trigger points might be an indicator for that time to see your estate planner/personal finance consultant. Changes in your life like a marriage, or children or starting a business or even heck, attending a funeral might be an opportune time to see the consultant. In fact, I was going on a very long trip to the US which made me rethink of rewriting my own will as it was 5 years since I first got it done.

Well, if you didn’t plan, then chance will happen to you. You will go to the default option. When one dies without a will (he dies intestate), the Estate Distribution Act 1958 kicks in. For example, if a person dies intestate and only leaves behind a spouse, the spouse will get 100% of the estate. Similarly, if only the children are left behind, the children will get all the estate. If the person dies leaving only his living parents, then his parents will get all the estate, provided his parents are lawful parents. If only the spouse and children are left behind, then the spouse will get one-third of the estate and the remaining two-thirds goes to the children. This might be a rather complicated situation if the children are minors and the bulk of the money is needed to raise them until they are in their majority. Without a will, you leave your beneficiaries running around like headless chickens trying to sort out the estate. They are likely to also suffer financial hardship before the assets are distributed, which could take years depending on the gross estate size as well as the complexity of the relationships of the numerous beneficiaries.

You should select your consultant based on your immediate needs. Based on what you feel is a need, have a chat with the consultant during your appointment to discuss the needs. Needs such as Boost Savings, Optimise My Money, Tertiary Education Aspiration, etc
