How we work

The Financial Planning Process

We follow the Six Steps of the Financial Planning Process as outlined by The Financial Planning Standards Board (FPSB), the global standards-setting body for the CFP® (Certified Financial Planner) designation. The Financial Planning Institute of Southern Africa (FPI), which is affiliated with the FPSB, adopts and enforces these six steps for CFP® professionals.

We also provide ongoing reviews to ensure your retirement income strategy evolves with your needs and market conditions.
