You Don’t Need a Financial Advisor
- A financial advisor’s compensation is rarely if ever tied to your success. The majority of their income is based upon the amount they get you to invest.
- You will pay a fee to your chosen fund plus a fee to the financial advisor.
- You Might Not Get The Best Financial Advisor. Would you even be able to tell the difference between a good financial advisor if you had a chance to talk with 100 of them? Or will you go with the best salesmen?
- It is neither difficult nor time-consuming to invest yourself because you're just going to mirror the market average.
