Why You Need a Financial Health Check – And How a Planner Can Help Protect Your Wealth

When was the last time you checked in on your financial health? 

For high-net-worth individuals and families, wealth brings opportunity, but also complexity. With multiple income sources, investments, properties, and evolving family needs, the risk of blind spots increases. Without regular review, problems can go undiagnosed until it’s too late. 

That’s why a comprehensive financial health check is essential. Just like you’d visit a doctor for a full physical, reviewing your financial position, risks, and future resilience ensures everything is functioning as it should. 

A professional financial planner acts like a specialist physician, bringing expert insight, diagnostic tools, and a personalised plan of action. 

Why a Financial Health Check Matters 

A proper check-up gives you a clear picture of your financial wellbeing and identifies any underlying risks. 

It helps you: 

• Understand your current financial position 

• Spot inefficiencies or unhealthy financial habits 

• Reduce exposure to financial shocks 

• Ensure protection is in place for you and your family 

• Align your wealth strategy with your long-term goals 

Without this review, you may be unknowingly carrying financial “symptoms” that could cause long-term harm. 

How a Financial Planner Supports Your Financial Wellbeing 

A financial planner acts as your wealth health specialist, helping you: 

• Diagnose hidden risks – in your investments, tax strategy, or protection cover 

• Prescribe solutions – to improve efficiency, resilience, and outcomes 

• Monitor your progress –  with regular check-ups and real-time adjustments

At Chartered Capital, we work with individuals and families to build clarity, confidence, and structure into every part of their financial lives. 

7 Areas of Your Financial Health to Check 

1. Net Worth: Your Financial Vital Signs – Like blood pressure or cholesterol, your net worth is a core indicator of financial health. A planner helps you chart assets, liabilities and trends over time, giving you a true sense of progress. 

2. Cash Flow: Your Financial Heartbeat – We assess income and expenditure across salaries, investments, lifestyle costs, and family obligations to ensure your cash flow is sustainable, efficient, and aligned with your goals. 

3. Investments: Strength, Balance, and Resilience – Are your investments working as hard as they should? We evaluate your portfolio across risk, diversification, tax efficiency, and alignment with your broader plan – like a personal trainer fine-tuning your regimen. 

4. Risk and Protection: Your Financial Immune System – We audit your insurance and contingency plans to ensure your family is protected against life’s shocks – illness, disability or death. Most people are underinsured and don’t realise it. 

5. Estate and Tax Planning: Long-Term Wellness – We review succession strategies, tax exposures, and use of structures or trusts to protect and transfer wealth efficiently ensuring your legacy is cared for with foresight and care. 

6. Contingency Planning: Stress-Testing Your System – We simulate unexpected scenarios – market downturns, job loss, medical emergencies – and examine how your financial plan holds up. This ensures your wealth is built on solid ground. 

7. Ongoing Monitoring: Your Annual Financial Check-Up – Just like your health, your finances change over time. Annual reviews with your financial planner help catch issues early, adjust to life changes, and keep your wealth strategy on track. 

Your financial wellbeing deserves the same level of attention as your physical health. A financial health check brings clarity, control, and peace of mind. It helps you move from reacting to life’s events to confidently planning for them. 

And with the right financial planner by your side, you’re not just maintaining wealth, you’re optimising and protecting it for generations to come.
