Financial Planning in Dubai, UAE for Expats
As a busy professional, you usually don’t have enough time to act immediately or change your investment portfolio with the market dynamics. Taking professional financial advice has eased the burden, I don’t have to watch the market always.
I felt the need for the professional advisor in India, as I was looking to invest the wealth I was creating. Kotak Mahindra takes care of my wealth management in India, however, when I moved to Dubai 5-years ago, I thought it would be great to have a professional financial consultant for my investments in Dubai and other international portfolios.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column_inner][bsf-info-box icon_type=”custom” icon_img=”id^2141|url^https://profinancial.solutions/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/challenge.png|caption^null|alt^challenge|title^challenge|description^null” img_width=”48″ icon_animation=”swing” pos=”left”]One of the challenges, when you invest in Dubai, is that yield on your investment is lower, secondly if you go to banks for financial advice they might not necessarily give you neutral advice.[/bsf-info-box][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Since the advisor from banks is not practising independently, they might not be very particular about understanding your risk profile, goals and expected expenses at different stages. For eg., the investment options they offer might not mature at a time when you have an expenditure planned. These essential facets were missing from the advice I received initially. And I needed someone independent, who also understands my profile to provide me with unbiased advice.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1576052774877{border-top-width: 1px !important;border-right-width: 1px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;border-left-width: 1px !important;background-color: #c3d7f3 !important;border-left-color: #266dd3 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;border-right-color: #266dd3 !important;border-right-style: solid !important;border-top-color: #266dd3 !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-color: #266dd3 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}”][vc_column_inner][bsf-info-box icon_type=”custom” icon_img=”id^2145|url^https://profinancial.solutions/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/click.png|caption^null|alt^click|title^click|description^null” img_width=”48″ icon_animation=”swing” pos=”left”]To know more on how to choose regulated best financial advice in the UAE, click to read a complete guide that features useful recommendations.[/bsf-info-box][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Financial advisory is not just about receiving charts and reviews about your money matters from your advisor, and they should be knowledgeable about the markets, trustworthy and always keep customer’s interest first.
