    Investment advice versus financial planning

    • 4 min read

    Whether you’re looking for a bit of advice to take on a particular goal or in need of a complete “big picture” financial plan, our advisors can provide the exact amount of help and guidance you need.

    Why is financial advice important?

    There are few things in life as important as planning and providing for you and your family’s financial future. Working with a financial advisor can help you take advantage of opportunities and avoid costly mistakes. And people who work with a financial advisor and have a written financial plan say they feel more confident about the future.*

    How will a financial advisor help me?

    Saving for important personal financial goals can be overwhelming — even during the best times. Objective, expert advice can help you prioritize and add clarity to chart out your best course of action. What's more, a financial advisor can work with you to develop a holistic plan that can help guide you through different market conditions and life events.

    Why John Hancock?

    Quite simply, we offer you more than a century and a half of proven financial experience and expertise. Whether you need a bit of investment guidance, help making sense of your life insurance options, insights on educational or retirement saving, or a fully-developed financial plan, we’re here for you. And we’re always happy to meet with you at your convenience.

    How can we help you?

    Chat with a CFP® Professional about your goals and choose between a comprehensive or custom financial plan. We’ll create a detailed roadmap tailored to your vision.

     

    Comprehensive plan

    Custom plan

    Our approach As the name implies, a comprehensive plan provides a complete picture of your personal financial situation. It contains all of your financial goals (big, small and in between) and maps out the necessary steps to take to put your plan into action. A custom plan is much more focused. It is built around a very specific goal or financial priority — be it long or short term. Most often, it’s built around your top financial concern (and may be the one keeping you up at night).
    Areas of focus With a comprehensive plan, every financial aspect of your life, every goal, question or concern is considered and accounted for. With the necessary action items spelled out. These include, but are not limited to: Budgeting, Cash-flow, Debt management, Education savings, Estate planning, Insurance and Investments, Life events and milestones, Long-term care, Retirement planning, Special needs and disability planning and 
Tax management. We can build a custom plan around any specific action, goal or concern you want to take on and take control of. These include, but are not limited to: Building a budget, Buying a home, Changing careers, Getting married, Funding an education, Paying off debt, Starting a family, Retiring comfortably — and just about anything else you can think of.
    Best suited for We recommend a comprehensive plan to people who want to map out their entire financial journey and see how all the pieces fit together. A custom plan is your best choice if you’re looking to take on a very specific goal or solve a particular financial matter.

    2 Total cost will depend on the topic(s) covered and be agreed upon before the plan is built. If your situation changes, you can update your plan annually for a cost of $250. This includes a meeting with your CFP® to review your situation and update your information, and an updated version of your plan with new recommendations based on what’s changed.
