I would suggest going to the public library and checking out all the education books and videos on Finance. Learn the basics on how the market works, basics on how to understand a companies financials-is it a good company to invest in? How interest works-the rule of 72. Get in the habit of reading the financial page- understanding the markets and commodities. It is your money so the more knowledge you have- the less risk of making bad investments.
or You can pay an Finance "expert" -they will show you some flip charts-highest fee investments first. Ask you about your "Risk Tolerance" - and then steer you to some mutual funds. Once a year you will get a statement. |

I believe they just finally passed regulation that will require financial advisors to act in the best interests of the client. yes, you read that right. Previously financial advisors had no fiduciary duty to their client.

If you start looking at guys, make sure to ask them what certifications they have.
CFP Certified Financial Planner. = Legit. It's hard as shit to get and the dudes that have it usually know their shit. Series 7 = sometimes legit. They're a little tougher, but you can get one without much trouble. Don't go with anyone that doesn't have one. Series 6 = probably a schmuck. A monkey could pass this. If all they have is a series 6 tell them to pound sand. Also make them tell you how they are compensated. Everybody wants to sell you a life insurance policy because they get a big commission and a "renewal" every time you pay premium. That's typically where the money is but it may not be what's best for you. If they him haw around and don't want to tell you how they're paid, they're probably douches. Thing about it is you can go to any college job fair and there will be a million companies trying to hire "financial planners". That says that the turnover is high, and they're just looking for warm bodies to sell products. That's not what I want in a professional that I take advice from. As far as specific advice, it depends on what you are trying to get done. Just be weary of any "special products" they try to sell you on. Usually it's what nets them the highest commission. |
