Why is Comprehensive Wealth Management More Important for Larger
Amounts of Assets?
Significant wealth isn’t just about money – it’s about shaping your legacy and living a life of amazing significance. It’s not just about accumulating or preserving your assets; it’s what you do with those assets that can benefit you and your family and how you support the causes you believe in.
While there are numerous aspects to comprehensive wealth management, here are five core components that your wealth management plan should include:
Financial Planning: This involves assessing your financial situation, understanding your short-term and long-term goals, and crafting a strategy to help you pursue them. It can also encompass retirement planning, tax planning, budgeting, and cash flow management, among other areas.
Investment Management: This is the art and science of creating a diversified investment portfolio tailored to your financial goals, risk tolerance, and time horizon. It involves continuously monitoring and rebalancing the portfolio, adjusting as market conditions change and your needs evolve.
Estate Planning: This has four main components: Trust; Will; Durable Power of Attorney, and Healthcare Directive. Estate planning also involves creating a plan to distribute your assets after you pass and should include a detailed accounting of how you want your assets distributed while maximizing the transfer of your wealth to your beneficiaries. Ideally, your estate plan accounts for ways to minimize any potential estate taxes to which your heirs would be exposed.
Risk Management and Insurance: This component focuses on preventing your wealth from being unjustly taken away from you and identifies potential risks derailing your financial security and goals while implementing strategies to minimize them. This often involves recommending suitable insurance protections, such as life, disability, or long-term care, to protect against unexpected events.
Tax Planning: Given the significant impact of taxes on wealth, effective tax planning is an essential service. This involves strategies to minimize tax burdens over time so more assets stay in your estate. Strategies include tax-efficient investing, tax deductions and credits, and income-splitting techniques.
Living a Life of Amazing Significance: The Real Benefit of Comprehensive Wealth Management
While some may measure success by the size of their investment and savings accounts, others measure it in the ways their assets’ have the ability to produce a life of amazing significance. It’s not about how much you have but how you utilize what you have to make a genuine impact on others.
