Why people normally avoid availing services of professionals?

People are not accustomed to avail expertise and seek professional help. They try to do it all on their own which leads to following of wrong practices and compromising on expertise and efficiency. People also think if they have Agents and CAs, they do not have the need for Wealth Management and Financial Planning. They do not understand Wealth Management and FInancial Planning is not the job of an Agent or a CA. One should focus on maximising the income from primary sources and seek professional help to manage one's finances, since mother of investments will always be the income from primary sources. If they do not earn, they cannot invest. People should focus their time and attention to increasing their income from primary sources rather than spending time managing their finances.

The agents sell a product which would give them a better brokerage thereby unable to take into consideration client’s risk appetite, objectives and cash flow needs which often leads to mis-selling.

The wealth managers take into account relevant factors and create a portfolio which suits the client.

Wealth Management is not the job of a CA.

What happens when inefficient / wrong / ad-hoc practices for investing are being followed by investors and they do not have an idea or are unaware about it?

This is what happens: :

Insurance is an agreement between the insurer and the policyholder to make a payment as compensation in the future if any unexpected event occurs. This payment may vary from hundreds to a few crores. The purpose of life insurance is to provide protection to the family in case the only earning person dies unexpectedly. If the individual who has bought a pure term insurance plan survives then the company would not pay back the premiums paid till the policy term which is also the case regarding mediclaim / health insurance where if any of the people covered are hospitalised, the company pays out the claim amount. If the individuals covered under mediclaim / health insurance are not hospitalised the company does not return the premium paid.
Purchasing an asset in hope of an income or appreciation in the future is known as investment. Investment also refers to deployment of money by individuals or institutions for conducting business activities. Investments are made with an objective of making profit. Insurance is an expense and making a profit out of insurance is not an objective. The insurance aspect is explained in detail in our articles ‘Investing Mistakes’, ‘Insurance Goof-Up’ and ‘Inaccurate Notions about Insurance’ under our ‘Articles’ section. Do not forget to read it.
What is compounded annual growth rate (CAGR)?
Compounded annual growth rate refers to the year-on-year growth rate of an investment over a particular period of time. This also takes into consideration the effect of compounding. For eg: An amount of Rs.1,08,000 is invested for a period of 10 years after which the investor gets back Rs.2,50,000. Thus, the return would be Rs.2,50,000 - Rs.1,08,000 = Rs.1,42,000 or 131.48% return in 10 years. Here, it does not mean that the return is equal to 13.15% (131.48/10) per year. By using the CAGR formula, the compounding factor is taken into account, so the actual return comes to 9.77% per annum.
