The Power of a Plan
We’ve all heard that failing to plan is planning to fail, but is there really any data to back that up? According to a Vanguard whitepaper “Putting a value on your value: Quantifying Advisor's Alpha”, a financial advisor’s guidance can be measured as a 3%+ increase in net returns for clients when implemented correctly. Over the course of 30 years, this could be a $1,300,000+ increase in net worth when comparing a 5% rate of return to an 8% rate of return for a starting $50,000 portfolio.
