Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between financial planning and investment management?

They often get lumped together, but they have different roles. Financial planning is the big picture; it’s a road map for goals like retirement, education, buying a home, and passing on wealth, and it covers budgeting, taxes, insurance, and estate planning alongside investments. 

Investment management is narrower and focused on the portfolio itself, including how assets are allocated, when to buy and sell, and how risk is handled over time. A strong plan usually needs both working together, which is how the team at FSA approaches client relationships.

A financial plan is not a one-and-done document. Most plans benefit from a full review at least once a year, along with smaller check-ins whenever something meaningful shifts. That could be a new job, a marriage, a new child, the sale of a business, a large inheritance, or a significant change in the market. 

Tax law updates and Social Security rule changes can also prompt adjustments. The goal is to keep the plan matched to real life rather than what was true a few years ago. Ongoing monitoring and adjustments are part of how FSA Wealth Partners works with clients.

Professionals that have obtained the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® designation have completed extensive coursework, passed a rigorous exam, met experience requirements, and committed to continuing education.

They are also held to a fiduciary standard, which means they are required to act in a client’s best interest. The designation does not guarantee great advice on its own, but it signals that someone has been trained across the full range of planning topics, from taxes and insurance to retirement and estate planning. For anyone comparing advisors, it’s a useful credential to look for, and it’s one the planning team at FSA holds.
