There are a number of reasons to do planning. First and foremost, it forces you do refine your goals and priorities and make quantitative and qualitative decisions about your money.

It also requires you to look carefully at where your money goes and begin to direct it in a meaningful fashions, instead of wondering where it disappears each month, By creating an overall financial plan you'll be able to focus on and control the many financial components that can benefit you and your family in the long run, including meaningful saving and investment plans, retirement planning, tax management, and estate & insurance planning.

Dev Investment - Financial Planning is unique in two important respects.

One is Dev Investment long standing expertise in the field of financial planning. Our specialists have counseled wide range of clients - from individuals to couples and corporates about retirement, investments , insurance, estate planning, and all other financial planning disciplines.

The other unique aspect of Dev Investment is our emphasis on the relationship between life events and financial planning.

Depending on your stage of life, you may find certain aspects of financial planning more applicable. If you're in your 20s, for instance saving for a home may be more important than retirement planning. Similarly if you have young children, you may be more concern about education funding than about other issues. You should, of course, recognize the need to look- and plan - ahead for future events.

But, a general- and potentially superficial approach to financial planning may detract from zeroing in on what concerns you most right now.

For this reason, we at Dev Investment focus on the events that are significant at specific stage of your life.

The financial picture is about to change, perhaps dramatically. Unfortunately, ignoring the situation can have far reaching, significant effects, while good financial planning can help secure the future.

Whether your goal is buying a new home, sending your kids to good schools, or retiring at 50 is up to you. What's key is that planning will increase the likelihood of your meeting those goals.

That planning is essential makes perfect sense since any customized road map helps you arrive at your destination more efficiently than guesswork ever will.

To be of most value and use to you, a financial plan has to provide the answers to three important questions about your financial life:

  • Where are you now?
  • Where do you need to be?
  • How will you get there?

Only with these answers, which our Financial Planner will help you find, will you have the power to control your financial future.
