INSIGHTS
Our worldwide network of experts delivers clear insight into the challenges businesses are navigating today.
What should a financial plan include?
A solid financial plan ought to cover a thorough look at your personal goals and aspirations, alongside an evaluation of your investment holdings. It should map out your expected income and expenses both before and after retirement, weigh the pros and cons of different retirement and investment account options, and outline strategies for retirement preparation, tax efficiency, charitable contributions, and safeguarding your assets through insurance.
On top of that, it should offer clear, actionable advice and steps to turn your goals into reality. To guide you toward the best decisions, a good plan will also lay out a variety of potential scenarios—plus some alternative ones—for you to consider.
Are you an independent firm?
United Financial Planning Group is indeed an independent financial planning and investment management firm. While we utilize Charles Schwab as a custodian for our clients’ investment assets, this does not compromise our independence in any way.

Security Consulting & Strategic Advisory PROJECTS
Risk MANAGEMENT Geopolitical & Security Risk Assessment for a Major Global Maritime Logistics Company in Saudi Arabia
Read More
- The Brave Unit was engaged by the world’s largest maritime transportation company to conduct a full geopolitical and security risk assessment in Saudi Arabia.
- This assignment represents a major strategic achievement and serves as a benchmark case study within our risk consulting and maritime security portfolio.
- The company operates in a highly sensitive region, where maritime corridors are exposed to growing geopolitical volatility, despite Saudi Arabia’s internal stability.
- The objective of the assessment was to:
- Identify regional and international threats affecting logistics operations
- Anticipate disruptions to critical supply chains
- Propose actionable mitigation strategies to protect people, assets, and continuity
- The assessment focused on risks related to:
- Regional unrest and political instability
- State-sponsored threats (e.g. Houthi militias, Iran-backed groups)
- Terrorism and piracy
- Strategic chokepoint disruptions (Strait of Hormuz, Bab Al-Mandab, Suez Canal)
- This case is notable for its predictive accuracy:
- The February 2023 report forecasted escalating Houthi threats, which materialized in November 2023 with a 40% drop in Suez Canal activity.
- One of our key recommendations—convoy-protected navigation—was later adopted by U.S. naval forces in the Red Sea.
- The success of this project highlights The Brave Unit’s capability in high-level threat anticipation, operational planning, and real-time risk mitigation in complex maritime environments.
