The Action Items report provides a list of recommended actions specifically tailored to your financial plan. Completing these actions will improve your chances of reaching your personal financial goals.
The software analyzes your plan models and identifies the relevant action items. In this report, action items are listed for each plan year as determined by the software.
For example, in the action items report below, the TFSA account is highlighted. The action item recommends "contribute the maximum amount." This indicates that the current contributions are not at the maximum level for that year, and doing so would help you achieve your long-term goals.
