“Many non-professional agents tend to prioritize their monetary gains thus jeopardizing the interest of the clients. What may seem to be good for the client actually may not be the best financial investment plan for them. All of this, along with my education and experience in the field of finance pushed me to embark on this entrepreneurial journey, where I would not only benefit my clients but also the society at large,” Priyal Shah, Founder at WRFA.

Assuring Best-In-Standard Results

With a ‘Plant Your Aspirations’ as the tagline suggests, WRFA has been constantly working towards nurturing and growing the financial aspirations of their clients. The company was incorporated after taking advice from plenty of industry experts where it was found that the people are misguided on the financial front. As bank employees sell investment and insurance products; however, they might leave jobs for some lucrative propositions thereby hampering the continuous service.

WRFA came into being to change the old regime in the field of financial planning, changing the mere selling of financial products in the name of financial planning. As certain practices like sharing of commission, misleading guidance due to lack of expertise depict the short-sightedness of not only investors but also advisors as they are likely to result in lagging of services in the long run. Priyal decided to take up the responsibility in a professionally prolific manner and provide the right guidance to those in dire need of it. “I am currently servicing many individuals who are not my clients but need help with their finances and not a single penny is charged for such services, effectuating my purpose of contributing to the society at large,” she adds.
