Imagine your superannuation journey as a mountain to climb, with the peak being a comfortable retirement. Financial planning and advice can serve as a trusted guide to help you along the way.
What is financial planning and advice?
Financial planning is the process of having a licensed financial planner assess your financial situation and develop a plan to help you achieve your goals¹.
Financial advice refers to the Statement of Advice (SOA) the planner makes after assessing your financial goals, needs and the best path for you.
Both can play a key role in helping you manage your super. Financial planning is like having a guide to help you navigate the mountain, while financial advice is the compass to show you the way and your SOA is the map.
