6. INVESTMENT PLANNING
Guidance on how to:
 Build Wealth - through investing either
once-off or on a regular basis
 Reduce Risks - through diversifying asset
classes and types.
 Build a Portfolio - of liquid assets that can
be used for future challenges
 Preserve Wealth - through investing in
diversified global assets.

PLANNING FOR CHILDREN
Many professionals were educated
internationally - and have the same ambitions
for their children.
Unfortunately, the opportunities for
scholarship funding are now decreasing, and
borrowing to fund a university education is
expensive.
 SCI Wealth Advisers set up Trust Funds
to ensure children get the education -
and the financial future - they deserve
“ there is a way to secure your future:
it’s called Financial Planning... ”

7. TRUSTS
 Inter-Vivos Trust - set up during your
lifetime to segregate, protect your assets
and mitigate tax.
 Testamentary Trust - set up by your Will on
your death, to manage assets for minor
children or to protect your Legacy for future
generations.
WILL DRAFTING
Drafting your Will is a vital process, requiring in-
depth understanding of your Assets, your
Beneficiaries and your Intentions.
It is especially important to make provision
for minor children or other dependents - in
case you & your Spouse pass away together.
This makes sure your Estate is distributed
impartially and objectively - avoiding any potential
tension amongst family members.
 Every individual should put their
Last Will & Testament in place, today
Our service includes full consultation, drafting,
signing ceremony & registration with the Master of
the Court.
PRODUCTS & SERVICES
“ Qualified Professionals you can Trust”

8. RETIREMENT PLANNING
In a world where we move jobs, companies
and even countries, Government and
employer-based old-age-pensions are less
and less likely to be sufficient to provide for
you.
 “Retirement planning is perhaps the most
important part of any financial portfolio”
Successful people don’t want to burden their
children with the financial responsibility of caring
for them in their old age.
PROTECTION
It is important to protect your spouse & children
(and your business interests) with life insurance,
but many over-pay for their protection needs.
Your SCI Wealth Adviser will check:
 Family Protection Needs
 Mortgage or Loan Insurance
 Business & Shareholder Protection
 Key Person Insurance
Keeping these costs to a minimum helps you grow
your wealth.
“ putting the right financial plans in place gives your
loved-ones long term security... ”
