Guidance in Investment Portfolio Management

This was written by my client, and I can refer you to her if you want to have a chat with the advisor.

As a representative of an Independent Financial Advisor (IFA) firm, I have access to a wide range of excellent solutions to offer my clients. However, I often found myself at a crossroads when it came to recommending the most suitable investment-linked policies (ILPs) and funds. The challenges I faced included:

Solution Selection: Difficulty in choosing the right solutions for each client from a myriad of options.

Market Research: Struggling to conduct thorough market research to help clients navigate market noise.

Managing Anxiety: Anxiety when dealing with clients whose investments were underperforming.
