At Finlink we believe in providing holistic financial planning that is tailored to your lifestyle goals. Your goals are at the centre of this plan, and inform the thinking around how to best manage and grow your wealth. Ultimately, we aim to help you determine how much is enough and achieve peace of mind, while targeting returns you need to fulfil these lifestyle goals.
LIFESTYLE
Your financial plan starts with you - your hopes, fears, goals and vision for the future, incorporating both your current lifestyle and your desired lifestyle.
RETURN
Once we have a better understanding of you, your goals and what you want to achieve, together we will determine the required investment returns in order to achieve your lifestyle goals.
ASSET ALLOCATION
Your required investment return will determine the asset allocation of your investment strategy, taking the associated investment risks into account.
RISK
We look at risk holistically in the context of lifestyle goals, your financial circumstances and what it is that you are trying to achieve. This assessment includes inflation, investment, personal, business and behavioural risks.
