Goal-Based Planning

Turn each of your life goals into a clear number, a date and a plan to get there.

What is it?

What is goal-based planning?

Goal-based planning starts with what you want to achieve, not with products. Each goal gets a target amount, a date and its own savings and investment plan.

It brings your insurance, savings and investments together into one plan that you can track.

Mutual fund investments are subject to market risks, read all scheme related documents carefully. Past performance is not indicative of future returns.

Why do I need it?

The risk goal-based planning addresses

Without clear goals, money tends to be saved randomly and spent on whatever comes up. Linking every rupee to a purpose makes it far more likely that you reach the goals that matter most.

Without it, you could face

  • Saving without knowing if it is enough
  • One goal crowding out another
  • Investments that do not match the time frame
  • Important goals left unfunded

What goal-based planning gives you

  • Clear priorities

    Every goal listed, costed and ranked.

  • Separate buckets

    Money for each goal kept and invested separately.

  • Real numbers

    Future costs that allow for inflation.

  • The right risk

    Short-term goals in safer options, long-term goals in growth assets.

  • Protected plan

    Life and health cover so one event does not undo the plan.

  • Annual review

    Progress tracked and the plan updated each year.

Consultation, comparison, planning and ongoing support

In a free consultation we list your goals together: a home, children's education and weddings, retirement, travel or a business. We put a cost and a date on each, and check what you already have.

Then we build one joined-up plan: how much to save for each goal, where to invest it, and the protection needed so a setback does not derail it. We review it with you every year.

  1. Consultation

    Each goal, its cost today and when you need the money.

  2. Comparison

    What you have, what you need and the gap for each goal.

  3. Plan & set-up

    Savings, investments and protection matched to each goal.

  4. Ongoing support

    Track progress and adjust as life changes.
