Financial planning begins with the protection of wealth, before anything else. It is the first logical step to take, just as the most important player a football manager needs to sign if he were to build his team from scratch would be the goalkeeper. Before any would-be investor could think about wealth accumulation, it would be essential if they first protect what they have, and this would almost always be done with insurance programmes.
The second stage would be the accumulation of wealth. Once a person’s wealth is sufficiently protected with suitable insurance programmes put in place, they may then decide to look for ways outside of active employment to increase their wealth and income. Unless one has a crystal ball or insider investment information, prudent investment strategies would be the way to go. Here is where good advice from a financial planner would be extremely useful as to what their clients should be investing in, given their goals, risk appetite and desired investment tenures.
The final stage of financial planning is the distribution of wealth. When a person feels they have accumulated a comfortable amount of wealth to sustain their lifestyle, it would be advisable for them to consider to whom to leave their wealth in the event they are no longer around. This is done through estate planning which always involves the creation of a will and sometimes a trust, in order to ensure the wealth of a person who has passed away would be distributed according to their wishes and to save the potential beneficiaries and family members from unnecessary headaches. This is all the more important for Muslims as they would be required to adhere to the fara’id law of distribution.
