Goal 1: I was planning to buy a new car in few years. Target was to replace old one at 8-9th year.
I had money year marked in a low duration debt fund/ liquid fund.
Advise: put in a balanced fund for 4 years at 12% !!
No sequence of risk offcourse because planner is superb!!

Goal 2: that time I was blind about buying a home
My plan: create down payment in 4 years along with existing saving, rest take loan. Mode of saving: liquid funds

Equity for a goal 4 years away In full blown plan of 24 pages.
Hmmm

So all people who planning to outsource your financial advisory
Here is what I will recommend
1. Prepare yourself with basic first.
2. Read a lot about risk
3. Then read about sequence of risk
4. Read more about asset allocation
Don& #39;t find the best fund or best planner

And then sit across a planner, question about the choices you are making and he is making for you.
Financial planner is not a remedy if you are unaware..
Financial planner will be margdarshak only if you are ready to see the path.
Borrowed conviction don& #39;t work

Learn .. do it your self.. pose questions, prioritize your goals and then meet the planner.
The good one will be instant connection, the bad ones will get filtered out if you are aware.
I rejected 2 before I became a DIY
The end :)
