Taking action as soon as you&#8217;re able could produce significant benefits for your long-term financial wellbeing.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that in mind, here are six financial planning tips that can help you achieve your personal and financial objectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-develop-a-wealth-strategy\">1. Develop a wealth strategy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not enough to simply save your money \u2013 you&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-eu\/insights\/what-is-wealth-planning\">need a wealth strategy<\/a>, according to Kevin O\u2019Shea, director of Wealth Planning for RBC Wealth Management in the British Isles. \u201cYou might hold investments, but what\u2019s the purpose of those investments?\u201d he asks. \u201cWhat do you need from them? The purpose should come first \u2013 before you develop and implement your strategy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your plan should take into account the age at which you\u2019re&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-eu\/insights\/how-much-is-enough-six-steps-to-building-the-perfect-retirement-plan\">planning to retire<\/a>&nbsp;or at least taper off your working life. You\u2019ll also want to think about the financial implications of what you\u2019re planning to do when you reach this benchmark age or life moment \u2013 will you travel more, pursue hobbies or purchase another property? Then there\u2019s gifts to children, grandchildren and charities to consider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having a holistic wealth strategy in place enables you to establish a financial foundation for the long term. This will underpin your approach to investing, too, where playing the long game generates the best returns. Research conducted by RBC based on data from the S&amp;P 500 shows the probability of generating positive returns before inflation improves as the investment time horizon increases. It rises to about 75\u201380 percent for one-year rolling time periods, nearly 90 percent for three-year rolling periods and approaches 100 percent for rolling periods beyond five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-rbcwm-rbc-block rbc-block rbc-block-well rbc-block-small rbc-block-grey rbc-mid-page-cta has-block-grey-background-color has-background\"><div class=\"\"><div class=\"row \"><div class=\"col-lg-12\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading cta-title\" id=\"h-ideas-that-make-a-difference\"><strong>Ideas that make a difference<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"cta-content\">Secure your financial future by contacting our wealth specialists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<a class=\"wp-block-button rbc-button-no-icon rbc-mid-page-button is-style-secondary rbc-button rbc-button-secondary\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-eu\/contact\">Contact us<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-positive-investment-returns-are-more-likely-over-longer-investment-horizons\">Positive investment returns are more likely over longer investment horizons<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-percent-of-positive-total-returns-over-various-holding-periods\">Percent of positive total returns over various holding periods<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1380\" height=\"721\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/07\/positive-total-returns-chart.png\" alt=\"The chart demonstrates the value and upward trend of staying invested over the long-term.\" class=\"wp-image-7652\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/07\/positive-total-returns-chart.png 1380w, https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/07\/positive-total-returns-chart.png?resize=300,157 300w, https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/07\/positive-total-returns-chart.png?resize=768,401 768w, https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/07\/positive-total-returns-chart.png?resize=1024,535 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1380px) 100vw, 1380px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"rbc-legend\">\n          <li class=\"rbc-legend-item\">\n            <div class=\"rbc-legend-bar c-tundra\"><\/div>\n            S&amp;P 500\n          <\/li>\n          <p class=\"disclaimer\">Source: RBC Wealth Management, Bloomberg.

Have an up-to-date will<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A 2023 survey by the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalwillregister.co.uk\/news\/two-fifths-of-uk-adults-not-discussed-instructions-after-death-new-wills-report-finds\/#:~:text=Less%20than%20half%20of%20UK,%3B%2055%25%20of%20women).\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">National Will Register&nbsp;<\/a>&nbsp;revealed less than half (44 percent) of UK adults have drawn up a will. Among those under age 55, the figure falls to just 30 percent. Dying intestate (i.e. without a valid will) can be especially difficult for high-net-worth individuals because their finances are often more complex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI&#8217;ve seen some terrible cases where family members and dependents are badly impacted,&#8221; says Helen Clarke, a partner specialising in tax, trust and estates at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.irwinmitchell.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Irwin Mitchell <\/a>. \u201cThey can end up going to court and spending a long time trying to restructure the estate.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>High-net-worth individuals tend to own a greater number of valuable assets, some of which might lie in different legal jurisdictions. In cases where there isn&#8217;t a will to provide specific legal instructions, managing cash and assets after the person&#8217;s death can be more expensive, time consuming and contentious \u2013 all at a time when emotions are quite raw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Without appropriate estate planning, part of which could be putting a will in place, those inheriting the estate are more likely to face a greater inheritance tax bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As with investments, considering your financial objectives is essential when you&#8217;re drawing up your will. \u201cAs well as thinking about who you want to provide for, you need to get advice on the tax implications of structuring your will in a particular way,&#8221; says Clarke. &#8220;Consider the use of trusts, maximise the use of available reliefs and exemptions, and plan carefully with business assets, for example.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-have-the-right-kind-of-liquidity\">3. Have the right kind of liquidity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Life is full of curveballs, and in these moments it\u2019s important to have easy access to cash. Keeping accessible cash deposits on hand can not only help support your more immediate needs while accruing compound interest, but it can also provide peace of mind if your circumstances change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Deposits also have the additional security of being protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme up to the value of \u00a3120,000 per person, per institution in the UK. In some circumstances, such as receiving money from a house sale or an inheritance, you could be covered for more than \u00a3120,000. Working with a strong financial institution, like RBC, can also provide additional peace of mind that your wealth is with a secure custodian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Accessibility needs must however, be balanced with the better returns offered by long-term investments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPeople sometimes ask, \u2018What\u2019s wrong with having savings in cash if interest rates are rising?&#8217;\u201d says Wilson. \u201cBut you also need to take inflation into account. The rate in real terms could mean your wealth is being eroded. Central banks have a habit of raising rates slowly, but if there are problems with the economy, those rates could fall quickly \u2013 and your returns along with them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSpeaking with a wealth professional can help you identify how much you can put to work in the markets for the medium-to-long-term, based on your objectives,&#8221; adds Wilson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-remaining-in-cash-results-in-wealth-erosion\">Remaining in cash results in wealth erosion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/02\/remaining-in-cash-results-graph.png\" alt=\"As inflation is running well above the level of interest rates, the supposedly conservative strategy of putting money in the bank can destroy your purchasing power.

There are inheritance benefits too, as the guaranteed pay out could be made free from inheritance tax, provided the policy is placed into an appropriate trust,&#8221; he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<!-- Start of Brightcove Player -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div style=\"display: block; position: relative; min-width: 0px; max-width: 640px;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div style=\"padding-top: 56%; \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<video-js\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tid=\"6264451313001\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-video-id=\"6264451313001\" data-account=\"3187797751001\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-player=\"VBE5DE1mC\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-usage=\"cms:WordPress:6.9.4:2.8.8:javascript\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-embed=\"default\" class=\"video-js\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-application-id=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tcontrols   \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tstyle=\"width: 100%; height: 360px; position: absolute; top: 0; bottom: 0; right: 0; left: 0;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/video-js>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<script src=\"https:\/\/players.brightcove.net\/3187797751001\/VBE5DE1mC_default\/index.min.js\"><\/script> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- End of Brightcove Player -->\n\t\t\n\n\n<div class=\"row mb-1-half\">\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-know-how-much-you-need-to-retire-comfortably\">5.

Use your full tax allowances<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Nearly three-quarters (72 percent) of UK high-net-worth individuals need guidance on tax planning, according to the RBC Wealth Management survey. This is unsurprising given the complex wealth profiles of many high-net-worth individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>O\u2019Shea recommends starting with the basics. Personal allowances, an investment savings account (ISA) and pensions will make your money go further. \u201cA \u00a320,000 ISA contribution per annum might not sound like much, but compounded over a lifetime it can make a big difference,&#8221; he says. \u201cOnce you&#8217;ve utilised these options, you may then want to consider investment structures such as international bonds, private funds and investment companies.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<!-- Start of Brightcove Player -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div style=\"display: block; position: relative; min-width: 0px; max-width: 640px;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div style=\"padding-top: 56.25%; \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<video-js\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tid=\"6229131995001\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-video-id=\"6229131995001\" data-account=\"3187797751001\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-player=\"VBE5DE1mC\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-usage=\"cms:WordPress:6.9.4:2.8.8:javascript\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-embed=\"default\" class=\"video-js\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-application-id=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tcontrols   \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tstyle=\"width: 100%; height: 360px; position: absolute; top: 0; bottom: 0; right: 0; left: 0;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/video-js>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<script src=\"https:\/\/players.brightcove.net\/3187797751001\/VBE5DE1mC_default\/index.min.js\"><\/script> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- End of Brightcove Player -->\n\t\t\n\n\n<div class=\"row mb-1-half\">\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>High-net-worth individuals can also take advantage of the various tax reliefs offered by government-approved methods of accessing venture capital, such as Enterprise Investment Schemes (EIS) and Venture Capital Trusts (VCTs).
