Anita Dalakoti's Wealth Professional Canada Top 50 Advisor Profile

Name: Anita Dalakoti

Question: What has been the biggest challenge for  advisors in the last 12 months? 

Answer: I’m not sure about other financial planners. I  suppose you are talking about the economic  climate. Well, to me those are a given and I don’t consider them challenges -- we have good times  and we have bad times, this is a historical fact.  Look at an [Morningstar] Andex Chart – a seasoned planner know how to deal with these  challenges. For me, every client is a challenge and  an opportunity. These are perennial challenges not  restricted to a 12-month time frame. A challenge  because I wish to create a plan that they can  identify with and implement without taking away  the their joys of living - easier said than done. An  opportunity because every client is different and,  in dealing with them, I get to learn skills that can  be implemented with other clients.
