Like a lot of investment terminology, Values-Based Financial Planning (VBFP) may mean absolutely nothing to you and without context, there’s no reason why it should. But if we strip away the rhetoric, this is a really powerful way of saying that instead of putting money into an asset class and hoping for the best, every single investment decision you make must directly correlate to your underlying dreams, goals, lifestyle and current financial situation.
Given that it offers a more grounded view of both your financial and non-financial priorities, VBFP is the direction in which Delta Financial Group is heading. So you should expect to hear more from me about the benefits of applying the principles of VBFP to your investment strategy during future catch ups with me.
Not to be confused with Value Investing – which is all about buying assets trading at a discount to their intrinsic value – VBFP (aka the holistic stuff) is focused on delivering much more qualitative outcomes than the singular pursuit of wealth creation. That means spending as much, if not more time investing in your goals and dreams as physically investing into a financial strategy. They used to be dismissed as the ‘warm fuzzies’, but helping you indentify and implement life plans, dreams and personal values goes hand in hand with long-term wealth creation.
The benefits of having a Values-Based Financial Planner are the physical freedom of not having to be your own financial advisor, plus the mental freedom from worry, stress, and anxiety about managing your money. So what you’re left with is the peace of mind from knowing your financial choices align with your most deeply-held goals and values.
