Thread: How About A Financial Advisor?

  1. #1
    Hi, Have a great year to all! To start the new year, our family has plans of increasing our mutual funds investments. But, our relatives & friends told me that It will be better to consult a financial advisor before investing into a stock market. This is to prevent risk of all sorts. Personally,I have second thoughts about it. Do I need the financial advice? I want to know more about safe investments. Do you have any related experiences about it? I would appreciate your ideas about this soon!

    No, of course you don't need a financial adviser, just ask a random internet message board full of morans. win-win.

    Invest in things that are going to make money.

    Never invest in things that are going to lose money.

    That's pretty much it.

    It is all about risk. If you adopt a portfolio of lots of small new start businesses you could lose everything or do quite well. If you have a portfolio of large rather unexciting companies the chances are you will have a steady return that might do a little better than one of the better standard bank accounts.

    A good financial advisor would have a range of portfolio options that matched your appetite for risk. So yes, speak to several and look at what they have, what their performance is like and what share of the profits they will take for investing on your behalf.

    Or you could take random advice from people on this board - indicating a very healthy risk appetite.
