Financial planning is a continuous process that involves multiple steps to achieve two critical outcomes:

1. An in-depth review of your current financial situation by a CFPCM, CWM®
2. A blueprint that shows you how to achieve your goals and objectives for the future.

Our six-step process is entirely centred around our clients, ultimately focusing on their financial goals. The aim of developing a financial plan and going through its process is to align your financial resources and actions with your goals.

First, you must provide our financial planning team with some financial data and information about yourself, such as your goals, aspirations, or challenges. Our CFPCM, CWM® advisor will then use this information to develop a customized financial plan for you, which will be presented to you at various checkpoints. As a client-focused business, we strive to make the process as simple and stress-free as possible. Apart from offering expert advice on your most pressing financial concerns, we will provide implementation support and monitoring if necessary.

SmartMantra Financial Services requires all new and prospective clients to complete a Fact-Finder Questionnaire as a crucial first step in the financial planning process. This questionnaire provides our financial advisor with a snapshot of your financial picture, including your goals and risk tolerance. Please rest assured that all responses are kept 100% confidential.

Your responses help our financial advisor prepare for the Initial Meeting. During this meeting, we will review your goals and current financial situation to determine whether our services can provide you with a plan to meet your objectives and the cost of these services. You will also have the opportunity to ask any additional questions.

SmartMantra Financial Services, a financial planner and investment consultant, follows these fundamental principles when designing investment portfolios and making recommendations:

• Purpose: The primary purpose of an investment portfolio is to accomplish financial goals, present or future.
• Design: The portfolio design should consider the client’s financial objectives, risk tolerance, time horizon, income and liquidity needs, and tax implications.
• Future: No one can accurately predict the future. It is the subjectivity of opinions that creates a market. Even with the same information, investment and economic experts may arrive at different conclusions. We do not claim that we or any of the money or mutual fund managers we endorse will always make the right decisions. However, analyzing the historical trends and relationships of investment categories and the philosophies and methods of successful fund managers can provide valuable insights.
• Allocation: The most crucial component when developing an investment portfolio is allocating investment assets appropriately based on your goals and risk tolerance. We believe that you are more likely to achieve your long-term financial objectives by adopting long-term buy-and-hold strategies, maintaining a diversified and well-balanced portfolio, and exhibiting patience.

The decision is entirely yours. SmartMantra Financial Services is here to assist you in implementing your financial plan or provide services as and when required, as per your preference. As financial planning is a continuous process and not a one-time event, we offer follow-up services such as periodic or annual reviews and on-demand consultations to cater to your needs.

When selecting schemes for a portfolio, SmartMantra Financial Services considers various factors.

• Your personal goals – If your investment goals require a more aggressive portfolio, then the investment schemes we choose will align with this objective.
• Your personal preferences – When it comes to investing, there may be certain companies that you prefer to avoid. For example, you may not want to invest in tobacco companies. Alternatively, there might be a conflict of interest if you work for a company in direct competition with another company. In such cases, we will steer clear of funds that invest in these companies to avoid potential conflicts of interest.
• Your risk appetite – Your willingness to invest in more volatile or aggressive schemes is assessed through a risk profiling process that we complete for all clients.
• Diversification – The portfolio needs to have a good level of diversification, with minimal exposure to any specific sector or market capitalization, unless it performs well at a given time. Monitoring and reducing such exposure is necessary when it no longer performs well.
• Scheme Attributes – The scheme aims to invest in specific sectors and companies with a track record of success over market fluctuations. 
• Fund Manager – Considering his previous achievements, opinions, and beliefs is essential.
• Fund House – We will assess the fund house’s philosophy, credibility, and track record to determine its performance.
