What’s the difference between financial planning and investment management?

Financial planning takes a comprehensive look at your financial circumstances, goals, and priorities. Depending on your needs, this may include retirement planning, tax considerations, estate planning, insurance and risk management, cash flow, education funding, business planning, and other financial goals.

Investment management focuses more specifically on your investment portfolio. This includes determining an appropriate investment strategy, selecting investments, managing risk, monitoring the portfolio, and making adjustments as your circumstances and objectives change.

Although financial planning and investment management are distinct, they are closely connected. Your investment decisions can affect your retirement income, taxes, estate, and ability to meet other financial goals.

At Veridian Capital Partners, we integrate investment management with comprehensive financial planning so your investment strategy can be considered within the context of your overall financial picture and long-term objectives.
