This course provides a hands-on introduction to financial planning using real-world client case studies. Through detailed scenarios involving Roger and Urvashi, learners will explore how professional financial planners evaluate assets, liabilities, income, expenses, investment options, and long-term financial goals to design effective financial strategies. Throughout the course, you’ll learn how to calculate future financial needs, assess the impact of inflation and time horizons, evaluate portfolio diversification strategies, and analyze investment risk-return trade-offs. The course also demonstrates how financial planners determine the corpus required to achieve long-term goals such as retirement planning, education funding, and wealth accumulation. Unlike purely theoretical courses, this program focuses on practical decision-making and analytical problem-solving used in real financial advisory environments. Learners apply structured financial planning frameworks to realistic client situations, helping them strengthen critical thinking and client analysis skills. What makes this course unique is its case-based learning approach that mirrors professional wealth management and financial planning processes. By the end of the course, you’ll be able to confidently interpret client financial data, evaluate investment strategies, and develop comprehensive goal-based financial plans that support long-term financial success.
