财务规划之:执照财务规划师有何不同?

财务规划之:执照财务规划师有何不同?

执照财务规划师与保险代理员,信托基金代理员,遗嘱代写员,银行前台财务执行员有何不同?

一个合格及有执照的财务规划师,他所给于客户的建议必须以客户的需要为出发点。同时,不是从单一的 “需要”建议而是更全面的 “需要”为考量。例如,一个自雇罗里司机(代称A先生),有一家五口,子女又都幼小家里开销需要他个人承担。假设A先生有意买保险作为储蓄用途但每月却拥有有限的资源。如果站在A先生的初步意愿,当我们以单一的 “需要”建议时,我们必将介绍储蓄保单。但是如果是更全面探讨其需要时,我们发现因为全家靠A先生糊口,因此A先生及其家庭承受着很大风险。所以,以“保障”为出发点的保单对A先生更为重要。

另外,假设我们因发高烧而寻求合格的医生医诊,如果我们连续去3次,三次医生皆给与我们普通退烧药打发我们。另一方面,若我们寻求普通的医护人员的诊断,而同样的,他也提供同样的药方。而最终我们被确定是患上骨痛热症,但因为没有得到适当及及时的建议,在这二者内,谁的责任明显的偏重? 医生或普通医护人员?

我相信,医生将会面对专业失责的法律责任,而普通医护人员却可能只面对严厉问责而已。差别在于一名专业及合格的医生,他具备了专业的训练及严肃的道德职业操守规范的期望。而普通医护人员却没有。

同样的,执照财务规划师拥有着更严肃的专业执行守则。执照财务规划师必须依据顾客的需要提供适当的建议。包括了,保险产品,投资产品及策略,遗嘱规划等等。若无,他也面对法律追责的风险。


执照财务规划师 与其他代理员#的差别

#1.不在要求内。
2.受大马证卷监督委员会直接管制及监管。每年更新执照。

#3.如以上2
4.每年需完成监管当局的持续进修要求。

5. 受到专业道德执业操守的严格监督。
#5.一般作业道德要求。
6.必须以客户需要为出发点,不然将面对失信于专业守则.
#6.受限于产品及收入制度而较偏向于产品为出点
7.能拥有多样化的理财产品来规划符合客户需要。
#7.通常受限于单一公司。
8.因拥有全面地训练,能从多方角度来探讨客户的需要。
#8.通常专注在代理公司的产品。

财务规划之:医药及疾病保障规划

财务规划之:医药及疾病保障规划

生老病死是人生的常态。而病这环在现今的社会越显得复杂。复杂在于一方面人类的寿命在医学倡盛及政府的全民医疗计划下得以不断的延长。但另一方面随即而来的却是医药及疾病的费用也不断的高升,甚至比人均收入的成长还要快。同时,工业食品的方便,重视味觉多于健康的食物以及现下高压力的生活也造就疾病年轻化又“多元化”的现象。
以下为我总结医药及疾病保障迫切需要的重点及需注意事项。

医药及疾病保障在马来西亚越趋重要性有以下几个重点:
1. 因患病而无法继续工作。
2. 昂贵的医药费。
3. 不断升高的医药费。
4. 政府公共医院无法满足庞大病人的需要。
5. 政府趋向不再津贴国民的医药费。
6. 寻求高素质的医疗照顾。
7. 现代高压力的生活越来越容易被疾病缠上。
8. 患上疾病的年龄越来越年轻。

如果没有医药保障,我们将面对以下风险:
1. 面对双重打击。(病痛的折磨再加上医药费的烦恼)
2. 如何应付日常开销及家庭费用。
3. 连累家人及关心我们的人
4. 无法筹足医药费。
5. 拖延医疗时间。失去最好的医疗时刻。
6. 无法享有最好的医疗照顾。
7. 向亲朋好友借钱的窘境。
8. 向公众筹钱。

购买医药保障须注意事项:
1.可靠及有良好纪录的保险公司
2.须注重保障的范围及利益而不是大保额或低保费。
3.了解保单及保费结构,避免往后不必要的断保。
4.切莫欺骗保险公司,以免得不偿失。
5.寻求可靠的代理员,本身检查确保资料填写正确。
6.确保定时付保费。
7.切记,没有最好的保单,只有最适合你的保单。

Retirment Planning

When we talk about retirement planning, what is our focus?
First we must establish our age of retirement (time horizon to reach there), second the resources we have. Thirdly is our retirement lifestyle.
By clearly understand our current situation, than we could understand whether we can achieve our future retirement goal or not.
For resources, we have two major categories, firstly is the existing what we have? It classified as physical asset that we already accumulate such as properties, cash, equity asset and so on. Another one is the ability we equipped. It included earning power, earning capability, professional skill and others. Secondly, is the future asset we going to accumulate. It included our monthly take home income. Future potential income or asset inherit ate.
After that, we should go to risk profile test. I normally separate it to two tests. The first one is the behavioral risk tolerance. It means, up to what extend our emotional can take it. Like if market fall down 20% or 30% within short time period, we can take it or not? Another test is the risk profile on personal background which measures our physical capability to take risk. Like, a single young income earner and another with full of family commitment guy may have different risk tolerance.
Above process is taking the longest time in investment planning. Because we may do a lot of adjustment on our RISK Tolerance, Time horizon and lifestyle “retune” to reality.
Anyway, above retirement planning normally go to constant income earner like employee who not have much resource and try to accumulate higher fund in long term. For those who have sufficient resources in hand, their planning may different with above people.
Bear in mind, we not necessary to take additional risk if we not need.

投资的的盲点

投资的的盲点
今天,看到一个基金报表写着2005 至2009年回酬为25%,20%,25%, (-45%), 30% . 对于一个普通投资者来说,总以为总投资回酬为55% (25+20+25-45+30)。我相信,一些信托基金代理员也以如此说法来鼓励人们投资。
其实真实回酬只有34%。 打个例子:投资RM100。
第一年 : RM100 X 25% =RM125
第二年 : RM125 X20% = RM150
第三年 : RM150 X 25% = RM187.50
第四年 : RM187.50 X (-45%) =RM103.125
第五年 : RM103.125 X 30% =RM134.06
盲点的出现在于我们太过简易投资回酬的计算。
因此,如果我们每损失一成,我们必须以双倍的回酬来填补。例如,RM100 的投资损失50%既是RM50, 那么要到回去RM100,我们接下来的回酬必须是100% (RM50 的100% )
认识这个概念将有助于我们更小心 的进行投资规划。
