Watch this before your next appointment

When preparing for your next appointment with a financial advisor, it's crucial to go in with a clear understanding of your financial goals and the products being offered. For instance, investment-linked policies (ILPs) are often pitched as ways to make your money grow, but they might not be suitable for everyone. From personal experience, asking the right questions during the consultation can help you uncover whether the policy truly fits your needs. One useful tip is to focus on needs-based selling—both for advisors and yourself—to create a genuine demand for investments that align with your life plans. Sharing weekly educational content or attending webinars can also improve your financial literacy, so you can confidently evaluate the recommendations given. Lastly, don’t hesitate to seek referrals or reviews from others who have navigated similar decisions. Building trust with your advisor is important, but equally important is making sure the products offered serve your best interests, helping you secure a better financial future.
