Personal financial planning can be seen by clients as a technical profession, involving numbers and products. People often don’t get financial advice for fear of what the numbers will show, or because they think they are just going to be ‘sold’ a product, one they are not sure they really need.

It is critical that clients understand the Connection between the advice they are given, the products that are recommended, and the life they lead. Gaining Clarity about their life is a key starting point for this Connection to be achieved.

This webinar will explore the importance of enabling clients to recognise the Connection between the advice and products they receive, and the life they want to lead. We consider how the personal financial planning professional can facilitate this Connection.

Learning outcomes

  • Understand why it is so important for clients to see the Connection between their resources and their life
  • Determine how personal financial planning professionals can facilitate this Connection
  • Clarify the implications of Connection for the financial advice process
