The mentioned quote by Brian Portnoy reminds us that investment decisions driven by emotion rather than logic can often do more harm than good.
When we constantly switch or “churn” our investments because of market noise or fear, it may not actually improve our returns. In fact, it can lead to unnecessary taxes and missed long-term growth — without really adding any value.
We Listen: Discovery StageThis is a part of our first meeting wherein we discover one’s basic lifestyle and future goals, based on which further probable steps to achieve the goals are discussed.
Everyone has their own way to lead their life and thus everyone’s spending and saving pattern is unique. Money spending and saving behaviour of every person is a culmination of their age, upbringing, family background, place, culture, education and surrounding and past experiences.
Our listening process includes a questionnaire, through which we try to understand the following things-
1) Risk appetite – Understanding of one’s financial as well as behavioural aspects
2) Family’s expectations from Money – based on individual’s past experiences.
3) Financial strengths, Opportunities and threats.
No fees would be charged for this meeting.
