Goal-based planning is a financial planning approach that focuses on setting and achieving specific financial goals or objectives. Instead of just investing for the sake of making money, we assis individuals and investors in identifying their financial goals - to buy a house, save for children's education, save for retirement, or to go on a vacation, and then create a personalised financial plan to achieve those goals.
Goal-based planning provides clarity by helping individuals define their financial objectives. It ensures that financial decisions are aligned with these goals, helping individuals stay focused on what truly matters to them.
It involves assessing the risk associated with each goal and making investment decisions accordingly. This helps in managing risk effectively and ensures that investments are not overly aggressive for important, short-term goals.
Goal-based planning tailors investment strategies to meet specific objectives. Different goals may require different investment approaches, asset allocations, and time horizons.
When individuals have clear, measurable goals, they tend to stay more motivated and disciplined in their financial actions, such as saving and investing regularly.
It allows individuals to track their progress toward achieving each goal. Regularly measuring and reviewing the status of goals helps in making necessary adjustments to stay on track.
