Description
This class offers a step by step methodical approach for an answer that fits you. This may be the most important financial decision you can make. Given misinformation, conflicts of interest and complexities it can also be the most difficult financial decision. The “New Normal” induced by COVID makes it even more challenging today given unprecedented uncertainty. Navigating the 5 step investment process is crucial to success.
The fundamental questions are: what is your personal preference? What are your needs? Will an advisor fill those needs? Will they add value in excess of their cost? Can you trust the advisor to put your needs over their own? Can you trust yourself to make informed and unemotional decisions?
Advisors specialize. Practices are not one size fits all. If you are not a fit, it will not work. What are the tough questions to ask an advisor and yourself? Even if you have already made this decision. This class should improve your ultimate results by either improving your relationship with your existing advisor or by giving you added resources and considerations while handling finances on your own.
