Want to save more money to realize your wishes? Want to use existing funds for wealth management but don't know where to start? With just four steps, you can create a wealth management plan that suits you.
Set your primary goal
Before creating a wealth management plan, you can clarify the goals you want to achieve based on your personal or family's living conditions and development stage, such as purchasing a property next year, preparing tuition fees for your children to study abroad after graduating from high school, and making reserves for retirement in 10 years.
Make sure the goals you want to achieve meet the SMART principles: specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound. Then prioritize them according to the deadline and importance of realization. The one you want to achieve most in the short term is your primary goal.
Understand your financial situation
Now, you need to make two lists: a property list including your income, savings, investment income, property valuation, etc.; a debt list including credit card arrears, home purchase loans, etc. Subtract liabilities from the total assets to know how much money you have to manage. Then compare it with your goal and estimate how much more money is needed to achieve it.
For example, if you plan to retire early and want to make a wealth plan for your retirement life, you can first list the present value of the savings or investments that have been prepared for retirement life (excluding pensions), and then calculate how much more money is needed based on the ideal retirement age and the expected expenses for retirement life.
Choose the right product or service for you
After quantifying your wealth management goals, you can turn your plans into actions through deposits, investments, or insurance purchases.
Among them, investment products may allow you to achieve your wealth planning goals faster, but they come with a certain degree of risk. What kind of investment product is suitable for you is very related to your risk tolerance. Individual investors who can tolerate medium to high risks can choose stock investment; if you are only willing to take lower risks and pay more attention to capital preservation, you may consider structured products that guarantee or partially guarantee capital.
Review your wealth management plan regularly
Your wealth planning goals will change as you age, your income increases, or as a parent. Every year, you need to be clear about what is important to you, make sure that the current personal wealth management plan is still suitable for you, and adjust the asset allocation plan accordingly as needed to help you achieve your wealth planning goals.
