What is your Financial IQ?
World Financial Group (WFG) released the results of a new, independent Financial IQTM study that assesses financial resilience, or their FIQ, and the proprietary tool which can measure someone’s FIQ in five simple questions. The study measured the general population, WFG insurance agents, and WFG clients. The findings show that during a time of economic uncertainty and ongoing challenges with rising food and energy costs, a large percentage of people in the U.S. and Canada are facing a cost-of-living crisis and less than half believe they are able to understand their personal finances.
But there is some good news. Study results show that WFG agents increase their clients’ confidence. Nearly 70% of U.S. WFG clients reported that they are optimistic that how they manage their personal finances today will help them achieve financial security in the future, a 16% increase in confidence compared to the general population.
The Financial IQ score is based on a series of questions that assess a person’s attitude toward their finances and whether they’re prepared to handle financial shocks that might come their way. The study questions an individual’s understanding, control, preparedness, and confidence around finances to draw observations regarding financial resilience.
