CA is an expert in accounting and tax practices. He is not an expert on assets like Equity and<br />

Debt. Also he is not an expert on tracking or researching factors which are must for any investment<br />

decisions you take. These factors can be macro like European Crisis or micro like inflation. He may<br />

have view on these as a spectator but he is in no way qualified to analyze these facts to form an<br />

investment advice.<br />

In case of individual investor, a CAs job ceases after he calculates the amount of tax that<br />

investor needs to pay. Investments to save this tax fall under the purview of your Investment Advisor<br />

or your Financial Planner. He will help you invest a suitable tax saving instrument taking care of your<br />

overall portfolio, asset allocation and other needs.<br />

CA has no role in Financial Planning. He is not equipped to assist you in your goal planning or<br />

risk assessment. Also since he is not an asset expert he cannot help you in assessing your future<br />

finances and portfolio. CAs engaged into advising on investment just does it for the sake of not losing<br />

their clients or for some monetary gains. Beware as his advice will never be comprehensive.<br />

Your Financial Planner is expected to have detail knowledge about economy and individual<br />

assets. He can also deal with tax related matters if you don‘t have too complicated financial life. Also<br />

as he is associated with you since the early stages of investments, he has a broad picture of your<br />

individual requirements. He is aware of your family needs and you get personalization.<br />

It is prudent that you take service of professional who is suited. For all financial planning<br />

related aspects, your Financial Planner is most suited.<br />
