We show you how to become an advice-only financial planner.

Most financial planning advice is attached to an investment product. For most people, investment advice is the only financial advice they get. But investment advice is not financial planning. Advice-only financial planners advise their clients how to manage finances. Advice on who to save with is left to the client. It's a commoditised market.

Wealth is a means to an end and not an end in itself. The end we all seek is to live longer better.

We have designed a process for you called the Game Plan. You may have heard that proper financial planning is about making a life plan and then putting in place the finances to support it. The Game Plan is a proper financial plan that aligns soul values with ego needs to achieve internal cohesion and improve wellbeing. The financial plan aims to alleviate financial worries so your client can focus on personal development. The plan is essential for making active changes to lifestyle in order to live longer better.

Client financial worries are kept at bay with HapNav, the world's first customer-directed Open banking-powered financial planning application.

Advice-only financial planners offer conflict-free advice. Your client will receive financial planning but no investment recommendation. When you are an advice-only financial planner, there is a wall between the financial plan and any investments used to reach the financial goals. Your fees are transparent and disclosed. It is a direct arrangement between you and your client.
