What a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ can do for you.

Draw up a complete financial statement and help set goals

Before a trek or expedition, an expert nature guide begins by evaluating who he will be leading into the wilderness, including their strengths, goals, abilities, and points of concern. Similarly, a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ performs a comprehensive financial analysis specific to you. Specialized training and experience enable the analyst to ask all the right questions to help you define and outline your personal goals.

Analyze relevant aspects of your current financial picture

A CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ understands that your financial situation has many moving parts (assets, income, insurance, taxes, business interests, wills, etc.). They are trained to hold your objectives and lend scrutiny and analysis of your finances in view of your making those objectives attainable.

Identify weaknesses and recommend improvements

The CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ practitioner's objective is to design a strategy which will weather any perceived or potential weaknesses in your financial outlook, and provide specific recommendations to help you pursue your financial objectives in a more streamlined and effective way.

Coordinate and implement your plan

Any financial plan, no matter how impressive or well-designed, is worthless unless it is implemented. A good CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ practitioner ensures that all the elements of your action item checklist are set into motion, that the work of specialists - such as your attorney or accountant - are coordinated on your behalf, and that the desired effects of the plan are realized. Comprehensive financial planning generally begins at $1,500, with more complex cases starting at $2,500. The fee covers one year of new scenarios, clarifications and updates.

*About Monte Carlo: Monte Carlo Simulation is a risk and decision analysis technique used to evaluate the outcome of portfolios over time using a large number of simulated variables to  generate possible future returns. 
 
There are many variables that can affect a financial plan. Two of the most volatile variables are inflation and investment returns, both of which, historically, vary on a daily basis. Even with this knowledge, most financial projections use constant inflation and investment rates over the period of the analysis. The use of these averages is used as a start for the planning process, since the actual values are unknown. Unfortunately, however, this type of analysis illustrates only one outcome, thereby requiring that simulation be used to imitate real-life situations. In order to produce meaningful results, these simulations are processed many times. By varying the rates of return and inflation to simulate the fluctuations that can be experienced in the marketplace, a more realistic reflection of the anticipated ups and downs of the investment environment is presented. 
 
In order to create a Monte Carlo simulation model, historical performance of the securities market must be analyzed. This analysis does not utilize historical data for any specific securities. Rather, it uses the historical data for broad asset classes, such as "Small Cap. Equities" and "Long Term Bonds." This analysis takes into account not only the historical values of various investment factors (prices, inflation, etc.), but also the interrelation of these values and the correlation between investment periods. The econometric modeling method is used to generate the capital market data used in the simulations. This involves modeling the movements of yields through time and then layering on various equity risk information to derive stock returns. This results in many economies being simulated for a given time period. 
 
These multiple simulations produce a range of results. These results are then analyzed and probabilities are associated with the outcome. Due to the random nature in which the simulations are generated and the regular updating of historical asset class data, the results may vary with each use and over time, even if the underlying assumptions are not changed. 
 
Important: The projections or other information generated by Monte Carlo Simulations regarding the likelihood of various investment outcomes are hypothetical in nature, do not reflect actual investment results and are not guarantees of future results. An investment cannot be made directly into a Monte Carlo Simulation. There are limitations in using a Monte Carlo Simulation, including the analysis is only as good as the assumptions, and despite modeling for a range of uncertainties in the future, it does not eliminate uncertainty. 
 
The results can be presented various ways, but the ultimate goal of a Monte Carlo Simulation is to educate and communicate about the uncertainty of the future, so you can make educated decisions about your specific situations.
