Personal Financial Planning

The financial planning and advice industry has been experiencing healthy growth for the past five years and is expected to accelerate this growth following the Covid-19 pandemic (IBISWorld, 2021). The pandemic has led to higher equity yields and appreciating asset value, directly increasing the total value of assets under management (AUM) held by financial planners and advisors. The industry in the US alone has surpassed $52.9 billion in 2021. As the economy is expected to improve, this figure is expected to follow suit. Not included in these figures are the explosion of online personal finance bloggers and influencers. Some YouTube and TikTok videos have raked in billions of views regarding personal finance (Smith, 2021). Many of these online contents have benefitted viewers and prompted them to start making good decisions regarding their personal wealth, spreading financial literacy to the masses. However, poor financial advice may be spread out as easily to viewers. The Wall Street Journal has reported on this issue back in 2005 where blogs and magazines have been found to give both good and bad advice on budgeting, saving, and overall personal finance management (Cullen, 2005). Whatever the net effect of this phenomenon, the easy access through social media has amplified it. This article briefly journeys through the evolution of personal finance management and personal financial planning, including the new trends this industry is moving towards. Subsequently, this article will look into the risk and rewards of the current personal financial planning and advice industry, including certified financial planners and uncertified personnel (social media influencers, financial gurus), as to whether consumers are benefitting as a whole, or otherwise. A disclaimer to this research is that the findings and opinions towards the industry do not encompass all the service providers in the business as there are many other influencing factors such as business models, individual agenda, and unique circumstances of each provider and consumer.

Financial Globalisation

Topic. The active transnationalisation of the U.S. business after the end of the Second World War became possible thanks to the creation of the American-centric framework of the world monetary and financial system. The U. S. and the United Kingdom have become leaders in financial globalisation by monopolising global financial intermediation and creating institutional barriers to other countries’ access to international liquidity. With formal non-interference in the internal affairs of sovereign states, they made the latter dependent on the activities of informal institutions (American rating agencies, Anglo-Saxon offshore centres, Anglo-American law, etc.) that determine the rules of access of sovereign countries to world financial resources. Such a state of affairs is a significant obstacle to the establishment of a multipolar monetary and financial system.Purpose. The purpose of author’s research was the identification of the institutional features of the centralisation of global capital at the present stage of development of financial globalisation processes and identification of China’s potential, as a leader of the global economy, in creating a systemic counterweight to Anglo-Saxon domination in the global monetary and financial system.Methodology. The author based his study on a dialectical approach, the systemic, institutional approaches, and the method of comparative analysis.Results. The active inclusion of China in the global value chain has led to a complex change in the global balance of power mirrored by weakening US international influence. However, the increasing influence of China in the global economy has not yet been adequately reflected in the system of international economic and financial institutions, in which the dominant positions continue to belong to Western countries.Conclusion. The institutional reforms undertaken by the G‑20’ aimed at bringing the world economy back to the path of healthy, sustainable, balanced and inclusive growth are not quite adequate since they practically do not take into account the increased economic and financial role of the most dynamically developing countries. Such disregard for the interests and importance of developing countries (BRICS, EAEU) requires the elaboration of alternative approaches to regulating the global monetary and financial system at the regional and interregional levels.

The relevance of the article is determined by the need to balance certain segments of the financial and real sectors of the economy, build their infrastructure, increase innovation through the implementation of the achievements of the financial industry. The main scientific result of the article is to define the financial sector and the financial industry, to establish causal links between them and development strategies. The financial sector is a subsystem of the financial market and is represented by its national regulator, financial and infrastructural participants, namely: corporations that accept deposits; money market funds and investment funds, pension funds, insurance corporations, captive and auxiliary financial corporations, other financial intermediaries. In contrast to the existing definitions, the proposed one is based on the classification of institutional sectors of the Ukrainian economy. The connection between the financial and real sectors is formalized as mutually complementary parts, which together make up the national economy, ensure the circulation of material and financial resources, the creation of added value. At the same time, they perform specific functions: the financial sector - distribution and transaction, the real - generating and transforming. The financial industry is a complex category that combines a set of financial institutions with their quality and technical and technological characteristics (intellectual capital, innovation, financial technology) in a creative economy. The financial sector and the financial industry reflect the dualistic nature of the functioning of financial institutions as financial service providers, on the one hand, and business process owners, on the other. Therefore, their strategies have a common premise and goal - financial stability, macroeconomic development should ensure the sustainability of public finances, the formation of long-term financial resources, lending to the economy. The common strategic goals are: financial inclusion, supported by digital and financial literacy, development of financial markets and non-cash economy, innovative development and economic system based on financial technologies.

The article is aimed at determining the consequences of digitalization and development of the fintech sector for the financial services market. According to the results of the analysis, a number of transformational trends for the financial services market are identified and characterized, among which the major ones: disintermediation in the financial services market – as a process of «cutting out» the classical financial institutions from the direct process of financial asset exchange; democratization of financial services processes – as a process of expanding the range of financial products; disaggregation of financial services – as a process of splitting financial services into separate financial products; increasing the inclusiveness of financial services, which provides better availability for different categories of customers; emergence of decentralized finances – as a concept and ecosystem of financial services, in which the provision of financial services and products is carried out directly without traditional financial intermediaries within the public open and decentralized blockchain network; development of automation and virtualization of financial services, which involves the widespread use of artificial intelligence technologies, algorithmic assessment of customer creditworthiness, autonomous risk management, automated trading on the exchange, the work of virtual assistants, robo-advisers and security systems against fraud; appearance of built-in financial products as part of services outside of the applications of financial institutions. The consequence of these trends is a reduction in the demand for financial services as a separate product of classical financial institutions; reducing the profits of traditional financial service providers; expansion of new business models of financial services provision in cooperation with technology companies; increasing the need to update the regulatory support of financial services processes, as well as the integration of mass financial products into the client offers of non-financial companies within a single ecosystem of products and services of a digital company.
