12 Reasons Why you may Need to Talk to Your Financial Adviser
Depending on the nature and complexity of your situation, you may need assistance. Some people simply don’t have the time or expertise to put a financial plan in place, whilst others just need help getting started and someone to refer back to every now and again at critical points.
For many people a change in career or a significant life event may trigger a need for specialist advice. A relationship commitment or separation, the birth of a child, ill health or the death of a family member or friend are all events that may result in a significant change in your financial circumstances, or simply make you realise that you need to assess your own arrangements.
Instead of making a decision based on emotions at the time of such an event, your adviser can help you make a choice based on an unbiased view, while bringing relevant knowledge and expertise to help you think clearly so that the decisions you make are rational and well-considered.
