  • Check the credentials:

Before deciding on a financial consultant, you should know whether he has sufficient knowledge on the subject. To do that, you should check if the financial consultant has the required credentials and qualifications. 

  • Your financial consultant should be a registered SEBI (Securities Exchange Board of India) investment advisor.
  • Your financial consultant should have been offered the Certified Financial Planning (CFP) certification by the Financial Planning Standards Boards. This certificate is not mandatory as any financial professional or someone from relevant professions can be financial consultant.
  • Look for experience:

When you choose a financial consultant, look for someone who has seen through a few market cycles and know how different asset classes behaved during those cycles. Such experience can be beneficial for your financial planning.

The role of a financial consultant is multi-faceted. They should be able to understand the macro economics, manage your money by assessing the risks and pay attention to the market’s future growth. So choosing a financial consultant with experience handling all these will be the best choice for you. 

  • Check the fee structure:

Financial consultancy does not come for free. Financial consultants can charge up to an average of Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 50,000 annually. If a financial consultant is not charging you any fee, that means he or she would be relying on commissions and may not give you unbiased financial advice.

Depending on the assets they are managing, some financial consultants may charge a flat fee, while others may charge a fee based on a percentage of those assets. Meet with your financial advisor and go through the fee structure.

  • Meet them in person:

It is important to have a face-to-face meeting or video conference with your financial consultant. Since your connection with your financial consultant will be an ongoing process, find out how at ease you are speaking with them. 

Consequently, it will be to your advantage if you can get along well with your consultant. Learn how frequently your financial plan will be evaluated and how frequently you may contact the consultant for any suggestions or questions.

  • Do a reference check:

Doing a reference check is important when choosing your financial consultant. Ask the financial consultant’s current clients how satisfied they are with the guidance they have received. Check to see whether the financial planner takes the time to comprehend the client’s issues and engages in meaningful conversations. 

Ask them if their financial situation has changed significantly since they started working with the financial consultant. You can also examine the public profile of the financial consultant or his business, as well as the testimonials and rankings.

Conclusion:

It is your hard-earned money that you are going to give to the financial consultant. So select the right consultant for managing your funds. When your investments choice are wiser, the wealth journey becomes smoother.
