Having studied and identified the gaps in the market for Wealth management solutions, NDB Wealth shares an action plan to enable prudent financial planning, which can have an impact on the lives of investors as well as their near and dear ones.

Reviewing savings and investment accounts arevital to ensure they are in the right place and that your risks are controlled. Doing t his on your own can be a challengin­g task to most individual­s both in terms of time and money. Funds sitting idly in a savings or a current account will not bring any long term benefit.

Having the right wealth manager or investment adviser will help you make a prudent savings plan. Seeking the assistance of an expert financial advisor like NDB Wealth can help you to make sound decisions. Moving funds to a money market such as NDB Wealth Money Plus account will be one positive option.

NDB Wealth also recommends that individual­s look at the following areas to ensure financial planning is carried out efficientl­y. Advice and assistance can be sought from relevant persons as required.

Organising financial paperwork which involves sorting out important documents such as a will and setting up power of attorney status is a much needed necessity in today’s rapidly changing world. Appointing trusted profession­als to carry out the necessary tasks at the opportune time will make one feel very much at peace.

Another area that needs attention is the reassessin­g of insurance policies. It’s important to review the policies to ensure that they are necessary, updated, cost effective and more importantl­y applicable to meet your current conditions and needs.

“Financial planning and fund management is increasing­ly playing a critical role in the life of every person. Whether you are planning for your retirement or are saving for a rainy day, it’s important to know that you are doing t he right t hing for yourself, your family or even your business,” stated Indika De Silva, Assistant Vice President – Investment Management.
