When Should I Hire a Financial Advisor?

[@SarahGonzales-sk6tn]

When should someone even think about hiring a financial advisor? I mean, can’t we just figure it out on our own with all the resources online these days?

[@FedrickWhite-jo2ed]

That’s true to an extent, but a financial advisor can be really helpful if you’re navigating big financial decisions-like managing an inheritance, selling a home, or planning for retirement. They bring expertise and a clear perspective that you might not have on your own.

[@TeresaMicheals]

Exactly. I think it depends on your situation. For example, if your finances are getting more complex-like managing investments, taxes, or planning for your kids’ education-it might make sense to get professional guidance.

[@Adam-dm8wg]

Also, if you’re feeling overwhelmed or second-guessing your decisions, it’s a sign you might need help. I remember when I sold my house and had over $500k in equity to manage; that’s when I realized I needed someone who knew the markets better than I did.

[@bridgecross]

I hope you're not thinking of the money in your 401k as cash earning interest. It's wealth invested in vehicles that will increase in value given enough time. Nothing is really "compounding" Your 401k investments should be in a *very* small number of mutual funds (with very low expense ratios) that reflect a mix of the stock market, corporate and government bonds, and maybe some real estate trusts. And don't jump in and out when you see your statement balance bouncing around. There has never been any 12 year period where holding these investments hasn't paid off, and if your retirement is decades off you'll be sitting pretty.

Also, get a fiduciary. If someone makes commission on any product they sell you, run. This is why you should avoid the bank advisors. I have family that works in banks. They get bonuses based on sales of certain funds. Often it is for directing people towards funds with higher MER fees even though the advisor knows that there is an identical fund with lower fees. This is also why bank mutual funds tend to be awful. They tend to be "active" in the most bare minimum way just so that they can charge extra fees. When in reality, these funds are 95% identical to an index fund just with slightly different weightings of companies and a 10x higher fee.

Financial "advisors" are salesmen. While they might have a fiduciary duty to you, they have their own agenda which by design is against yours. Personally I have my modest investments spread across various types: some mutual funds, some in bonds, some single stocks & ETFs and some in a robo-advisor accounts... and honestly the money I have in the robo-advisor accounts bring me the biggest piece of mind. That's what I would recommend to most of my friends and family looking to put their savings in an investment vehicle.

[@jaideepchahal491]

They “legally” can’t have their own agenda. A Fiduciary Duty is the most strict legal duty one can have. If they don’t act purely for the client’s interest, they will get sued and disbarred

[@RenM908]

Some don't have a legal fiduciary agreement with you, hence fiduciary vs non-fiduciary. That's why I say find a good fiduciary advisor as a starting point if you are starting out and its a good idea to shop around. Most will give you a free consultation and if you have a basic idea of what you want to do you can feel out and get a feeling for that advisor, the plan they want to set for you, and their fees. However, if you already know what you are doing, it can be cheaper to go with one who isn't such as an Edward Jones, etc, type advisor.

[@brandonzahal8699]

You clearly know absolutely nothing about financial advisors. God for bid they make a sales pitch because they need clients to make a living. That being said most advisors I know do not have their own agenda against yours. Most hold a fiduciary standard

Well it depends on if you are in control of the trust or not. If you're the trustee on the trust, or one of them, then you potentially could move the assets out of the trust. If you're not a trustee, and you are a beneficiary of the trust, then unfortunately you have no control over the trust's assets. You may want to talk to a lawyer in this case, or seek legal aid if you can't afford one (there are legal aid non profits in all states that offer free legal council)

[@thomaspugh9969]

My advisor/planner is kind of a babysitter haha. However, he was managing my money when it was a trust and between 2007 and 2022 he took it from around $400k to $1.3M, and you have to take out a few years from the recession we had. He has an MBA from Wright Sate and a BS in mechanical engineering from Purdue, so I guess I got lucky. Definitely shop around.

[@Steelologist]

Never get involved with any professional financial advisors if your goal is to retire as a millionaire. And here is why. All financial advisors are required to comply with the fiduciary policy of the organization they work for. And that organization is required to follow the law currently on the books. Years ago, laws were on the individual investor's side, but during Trump's first term the rules were changed. Today, the rule says that financial organizations do not have to pay attention to investors' bottom line or serve in their best interest. That means that when you meet with your broker and/or advisor, he/she will do what is best for them and the organization they work for. That also means that they are incentivized to maximize their employer's returns so whatever advice you receive from them should be taken with a truckload worth of grains of salt. Two truckloads would be even better. Be particularly careful around laddered bond packages often sold as "retirement safety-net" solutions to market volatility as they hide pitfalls not easy to detect unless you are a pro.

Not net worth, invested assets. If 400k out of your 500k net worth is in your house, no need for a financial advisor for your investments yet.

[@harryallenpearce89]

You shouldn’t hire a financial advisor. No one will care more about your money than you.

[@GHC3]

They are designed to be used when you need help and give suggestions(using the teacher analogy in the video) with making the best moves on a big cash windfall or if you have a really high income to work with. That's a smart move and Dave is right about getting a tax advisor or accountant to navigate the taxes(especially in the US).

Financial planners are a waste of money and time. Any idiot can hang their shingle out there and claim to be a financial planner. Do your own research and make your own financial decisions and don't rely on a perfect stranger who is out to line their own pockets at your expense. I never could figure out how someone could ever trust a stranger with their money. “If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime.”
