Financial advice can have a significant impact on individuals' and families financial health and wealth throughout their lifetimes and into retirement.
The benefits of receiving financial advice with stats are detailed below:
1. Improved Saving and Investment Habits: A study by Vanguard found that working with a financial adviser can add around 3% in net portfolio returns over time. This is due to advisors helping clients implement suitable asset allocations, effectively rebalance and maintain their portfolios, and employ tax-efficient strategies.
2. Greater Wealth Accumulation: A report by the International Longevity Centre in the UK found that individuals who received financial advice were on average £47,706 wealthier (in pension wealth and financial assets) than those who did not receive advice.
3. Increased Confidence: A survey by the Financial Planning Standards Council found that 79% of those who had a comprehensive financial plan felt they were on track to achieve their financial goals, compared to just 34% of those without a plan.
4. Protection Against Market Volatility: Financial advisers can help clients navigate volatile markets and make informed investment decisions, reducing the likelihood of panic selling during market downturns and buying high during market peaks.
5. Greater Retirement Readiness: According to a study by the Employee Benefit Research Institute, those who sought advice were more likely to calculate a retirement savings goal and express confidence about their retirement prospects.
These statistics underline the value of financial advice in helping individuals manage their finances, make informed decisions, and achieve their financial goals.
