The “panic attack” that gripped investors over the last couple of days will pass and financial markets will rebound, according to investment experts. Professional Planner reports that while the timing of a rebound is uncertain, investment research firms said the fundamentals of the Australian market are strong. Fund managers also said the Australian market is currently valued at about 10 to 11 times earnings, with a 5 per cent dividend yield. However, Australian stocks have historically traded at between 14 and 15 times earnings, and market returns, from dividends and earnings growth, may be as much as 15 per cent in the coming year.

Financial Planner Melbourne: What is Financial Planning ?
Some people may think that financial planners only give advice on investments. This is not true. The role of a qualified professional financial planner is to look at all aspects of your lifestyle, goals and requirements and develop a financial strategy suitable for you.
Advice falls into two areas: general or personal.
Advice falls into two areas: general or personal.
General advice is advice on financial products that helps people make decisions about money but does not take personal circumstances into account.
Personal advice considers a person’s objectives, financial situation and needs. With this understanding, the financial planner can recommend appropriate strategies and, when required, appropriate financial products to suit individual needs and goals.
The 6 step process
The 6 step process
When developing a financial plan for you, known as a Statement of Advice (SOA), a financial planner will follow a structured process to help understand your needs and recommend an appropriate strategy. The six-step financial planning process is as follows:
1. Gather your financial information
2. Identify your goals
3. Identify financial issues
4. Prepare your financial plan (called a Statement of Advice)
5. Implement the recommendations based on your financial plan
6. Review and revise the plan at regular intervals, or when circumstances change.
