Rogers Group Financial is committed to helping you achieve your financial and lifestyle goals through a planning-based approach.  Our 6-step planning process offers customized solutions to your objectives with regular monitoring of your financial holdings.

Step 1: Creating a profile

We’re more than investment advisors.  Just as a doctor performs a complete physical to determine your overall health, we want to know your complete financial picture.  So we gather all the facts to create a detailed profile of your financial position.  We want to get as much data as possible.  The more we know, the better advice we give.

Step 2: Clarifying Goals and Objectives

Because each client’s financial situation is different, we want to know what is important to you.  Clients in the same demographic (similar age, amount of assets) might receive a financial plan that contains completely different strategies and recommendations, as their goals could vary significantly.  So we spend the time to identify and help you articulate your unique financial concerns, goals and objectives.

Step 3: Analysis

Once we have completed a detailed profile of your situation, we begin analyzing your financial position.  We run illustrations of your assets and liabilities to give you a global view of your financial future– we can’t look at your investment assets in isolation.  This analysis assists us in determining what needs to be done to meet your objectives. 

If you are in the accumulation phase, we run wealth accumulation illustrations that give a clear idea of when you can retire.  If you are retired or close to retirement, we prepare a detailed retirement income illustration.  This lets you know how much income can be generated from pension assets (such as OAS, CPP, company pensions) and investment assets for the remainder of your lifetime.

Step 4: Financial Plan

Once we have analysed your overall situation, we then prepare a written plan or “road map” to guide you in achieving your objectives.  This plan takes a snapshot of your financial position and gives recommendations on how to meet your financial goals and objectives.  This step is the cornerstone of our relationship and what drives our advice and recommendations.  It will ensure that you know what you need to do, and will point you in the right direction.

Step 5: Independent Implementation

When it comes to implementing your financial plan, you must have all the tools required to carry it out.  We are fully licensed to implement most aspects of your financial plan. 

At Rogers Group Financial, we believe that a combination of many different services and/or products will allow us to best meet your financial objectives. We do not want product limitations to bias our advice. We will also need to work with your accountant and lawyer to implement your financial plan.  If you don’t currently have an accountant or lawyer, we will be happy to refer you to one.

Step 6: Monitoring and Reporting

A financial plan is a snapshot in time.  It lets you know if you are heading in the right direction.  Life is unpredictable, so the success of your financial plan lies in the monitoring of the plan.  Your strategy must be continually revisited to ensure it not only matches your current situation, but is still accomplishing your original goals and objectives.

To this end, we provide you with annual (or more frequent) financial reviews and regular consolidated reports of your financial position.  And we continue to review and update steps 1 through 5 to ensure that your financial plan is still 'on track'.
