The corrosive effect of inflation on savings lying idle, the bewildering number of investment avenues and the varying risks of each, combined with rising aspirations will continue to fuel the need for such financial doctors.

Increasingly, a large number of individual investors – small as well as high net-worth – are seeking the services of these “investment doctors” to write their personal balance sheets. The demand for these planners also springs from a variety of social factors – increasing life expectancy, non-permanent jobs and growing ambition to study and travel abroad. Many progressive corporates are also beginning to offer financial planning to their employees as an add-on bonus. In fact, every family today requires financial planning to prepare for the future.

Financial planning then is a dynamic growth profession in which strong careers can be established.
