Investing

Whether you are trying to save on a regular basis, or you have a lump sum you want to invest in an effective and tax efficient manner, you need to address some very important issues. Factors to consider include your time horizon and your cash flow requirements.

You will also need to understand a little about ‘risk’, which is your capacity to tolerate fluctuations in the value of the funds you have investedJaipur Investment. This will require an assessment of your financial ability to take risk and your attitude towards risk. Consideration of both will help determine the choice of investments and the asset classes that are selected to make up your investment portfolio.

On the other hand, equities or shares fluctuate in value, but provide high potential growth. By discussing your goals, objectives, and concerns, Focus Partners can help you to identify the asset mix and choice of fund managers to satisfy your requirements.

Insurance

Personal Insurance should form a very important part of your overall financial security and strategy. It is strongly recommended that every client should have their personal insurance reviewed and updated on a regular basis to ensure they and their families are adequately covered. In many cases, the insurance can be paid for from your superannuation.

Life Insurance: Death Cover is vital to anyone with family or dependant children, especially when there is debt involved. If the income earner dies, the family and dependants will need sufficient capital to invest, so that they can continue to live in a manner to which they are accustomed.

Disability Insurance and Trauma Cover: This form of insurance is recommended for everyone, even the single person with no responsibilities. This insurance would provide for the payment of a capital sum on the diagnosis of certain specified events such as heart disease, cancer, stroke, etc., or in the event that you become permanently unable to work due to illness or injury.

You can imagine the load it would take off your mind to know you had a substantial amount of money due to you, if you were diagnosed with some debilitating disease which was going to require very expensive hospitalisation or medication.

Income Protection and Business Expense Insurance: Income Protection will provide the insured with an ongoing monthly income in the event of an illness or accident which results in the inability to work. There is a wide range of options for this type of cover and the amount of payments, the waiting period and the term of the cover, are all specified by the client at the time of application.
