MoneyWise will focus on the provision of needs-based independent financial advice, from a family of financial practitioners, on a professional-to-professional level and will also contain relevant news, comments and resources for the busy medical professional.
Financial Planning Services Ltd managing director Joe G P Bonello said: “We understand the stresses and strains which medical professionals live through every day. Our company’s experience with medical practitioners goes back to 1965, when I was a one-man operation, and for the first time a general practitioner became my client. We develop our relationships along values-based ethical principles. Over the coming months, we will tackle a different aspect of the various areas of primary financial concern to medical professionals.
“Management of health and management of wealth have much more in common than just the rhyme. Comparing the financial services industry to medicine is more accurate and useful than comparing it to the business of retailing consumer goods.
“One similarity between the fields revolves around the diagnosis and treatment of problems afflicting clients’ health and wealth. Just as in medicine, the MD’s financial counterpart – the ‘money doctor’ – collects information from his/her ‘patient’, runs tests to analyse it, discusses potential courses of ‘treatment’, writes prescriptions for financial ‘medication’ and/or liaises with, or refers to, other specialists. The vital follow-up component is the follow-through on the patients’ financial condition in the future.”
Mr Bonello concluded: “The end result is more free time and stress-relieving peace of mind.”
TheSYNAPSE editor Wilfred Galea said: “We always strive to provide medical professionals with the best possible service by teaming up with highly professional organisations which are able to provide the best possible content and service. With a target market of around 2,000 members, we leverage on our years of experience and our range of marketing vehicles that provide maximum reach in this niche market. We are very proud of the launch of this new service and are confident that this relationship between medical professionals and Financial Planning Services Ltd, that is established through TheSYNAPSE, will benefit the whole medical profession”.
