Many investors are asking “How do I invest my money using fee only advisors?” Financial planners and mutual funds have let most investors down with poor performance and by failing to educate clients about risk management. A lack of understanding asset allocation and risk has partly been due to the fact investors are detached from the investment management process.
How to Invest My Money
One of the benefits of self-directed investing is the ability of the investor to stay knowledgeable about his or her asset allocation and portfolio risk in a timely manner instead of being shocked after receiving monthly or quarterly statements. By using a fee only investment planning service conflicts of interest are eliminated and the investor can say “I have confidence and understand how to invest my money”.
Studies show that keeping investment expenses low greatly increases long term returns. The Do It Yourself Investor can use an online brokerage with extremely low commissions instead of purchasing investments with large fees based on assets invested.
Fee Only Advisors
When hiring fee only advisors look for Do It Yourself Investment Management Services with good long term performance records. Then pick, and stay, with one that has an investment philosophy you feel comfortable with.
