Choosing the Best Financial Advisor for You.

A simple guide for Tucson, AZ retirees and small business owners to finding a financial advisor who will help 你 approach 你r financial life with confidence and clarity.

We’ve all heard the stories from friends and coworkers about terrible decisions they (or people they know) have made with their investments.

更糟糕的是, many were led to those decisions by financial “professionals” whose advice they trusted and followed.

Which can be extremely frustrating when trying to make sound decisions.

That’s why we created this guide.

The more 你 know about successfully choosing an advisor, the better chance 你 have of navigating retirement and the big financial events in 你r life with confidence.

To help 你 gain some clarity, we’ve put together our series, “How to find the best financial advisor for 你.”

In this series we will go over topics such as:
  • The questions to ask when 你’re looking for an advisor.
  • The qualifications and designations that signify a certain level of knowledge and 资质.
  • What Advisors (in our opinion) we would avoid.
  • And whether or not 你 really need a financial advisor in the first place.
Over the last 19 years I’ve been advising retirees and small business owners and helping them create realistic financial plans. The reason I am so passionate about this is that along with the good, I’ve also seen my share of horror stories. That’s why my goal is for 你 to feel much more confident in 你r ability to choose an advisor that has 你r best interests at heart and has the tools to properly execute a solid financial plan. Let’s start with the basics.

What is a “Financial Advisor” You Ask?

The term financial advisor is often shrouded in mystery or confusion with the many different types of “advisors” claiming the title.

But let’s keep it simple: Financial Advisors are best explained as professionals who help 你 manage 你r financial life from investment choices and retirement vehicles, to life events and estate planning.

看到,?

I didn’t just say manage 你r investments or sell insurance or annuities.

Those are products or “tools” an advisor may use in executing 你r plan, but the real qualification is someone who can help 你 plan for 你r future, guide 你 to those goals, and help 你 make the right decisions for 你r situation.

But where it gets tricky is that many people claim the title but don’t operate under any standard operational procedures. Unlike how a Medical Doctor has to go through years of training and education to claim the title, some advisors can get a license and start practicing the next day…

让人困惑? 是的,它可以是.

That’s why I want to arm 你 with the following 5 topics.

开始研究

We met an older lady who was interviewing another financial advisor and was impressed with his presentation and seriously considering hiring him. He had told her he had 11 years of experience, all satisfied customers, and was even going to manage her money for free since she was a friend of his mom.

Since she was a trusting person, she didn’t do any research and simply hired him based on what he said and the fact that he worked for a name brand firm.

Thankfully, her son was receiving copies of her statements and was monitoring her account. After a couple of months of the account going down, he became suspicious.

He did the research….

Understanding Designations

Would 你 blindly trust just anyone to operate on 你?
 
我肯定不会.
 
If I was going under the knife I’d want to check out the team who had my life in their hands.
 
I’d want to know if they were qualified?
 
Did they have a history of success?
 
Is this even their area of expertise?
 

I might be fearful before going under, but the last thing I would want to worry about is whether or not I trusted their skills…

Tough Questions You Need to Have Answered 第一个

Several years ago I ran into someone who had hired a financial advisor at a big bank. They had asked lots of questions about qualifications, the safety of the custodian, types of investments etc.
 

Unfortunately, the client didn’t ask was what brand of products the bank would invest their money in. The bank put all of their money into proprietary products owned and managed by the bank. A couple years later, the client wondered why his performance was lacking and realized that the bank hadn’t picked what they thought was best or even investments with the best track record, but rather what would make the bank the most profit.

This person’s theory was that…

Do You Really Need a Financial Advisor?

You’re about to retire and 你r 401(k) and other investments have grown over the years to where 你 think 你’ll have enough to retire comfortably.

What Financial Advisors to avoid.

It seems like everyone these days is calling himself a financial advisor.

There’s everything from bloggers talking about retiring early by writing a blog to insurance agents calling themselves full financial planners.

Probably the most common thing we run into is an advisor who recommends almost nothing but annuities but calls himself a financial planner other than an insurance agent.

It’s no wonder it’s confusing.
 

现在的问题是, if 你 don’t know how to tell them apart, it’s hard to know which ones to seek out and which ones to avoid.
