Almost everyone can improve their financial results and their peace of mind by talking to an expert about their finances.
You could think this is the equivalent of going to your doctor for regular check-ups.
It is easy to get overwhelmed by all the decisions required about money, and an advisor can reduce the stress associated with these decisions and very likely improve your financial results.
It would be good if you let an expert advisor manage your investments.
A good financial advisor will help you to plan properly and invest accordingly.
At the same time, he/she will make sure that you stay focused and disciplined – a very important aspect of investing that people often ignore.
Identifying your financial goals and building a realistic investment plan to achieve those goals is an absolute must when you start investing.
And if you think you do not have the required expertise and/or the required time, you will always be better off with a financial advisor.
How a Financial Advisor can help you
Think of an advisor as someone who can keep you
- in touch with your goals,
- aware of trends and change,
- focused,
- motivated,
- communicating
- changing for the better as things around you change,
- emotionally centered and
- learning
Most of all advisors have access to and know about more tools than the client.
The facts don’t matter as much as the emotional support and guidance as to the context of your situation.
Financial planning is not just about selecting the right mutual fund or right insurance plan.
A mutual fund agent is not a financial advisor.
An insurance agent is not a financial advisor.
A financial advisor is someone who can do comprehensive financial planning from insurance to investment, tax planning to expense tracking.
A good financial planner would first diagnose the financial health and then suggest the right plan accordingly.
How do you find a Financial Advisor that fits you?
Make a list of your priorities. Buy a house in 5 years? Marry? Have children? Change jobs? Retire?
What’s driving your desire to consider asking for financial advice from a professional?
It might be as simple as wanting to look at your whole picture to spot patterns in your personal financial habits, such as not saving enough in your 401k, or not taking full advantage of tax-efficient ways to invest or start to save/budget.
Or it could be a special situation, such as a divorce, or even an interest in learning about how to invest.
After you’ve put your thoughts down and arranged them in order of your most urgent needs first, then you must consider who is going to be the best professional to help you take the right steps to act.
This “who” part of the equation is critically important.
Make sure the advisor you interview asks you a LOT of questions and talks more about YOU than him or herself.
This is a key to how good a listener the advisor really is which is key to your success.
How do I know the right Financial Advisor for me?
This is a trust relationship, in both directions, so there must be a good fit.
Remember the majority of the time, financial advisors are also interviewing you as much as you are. Both of you must be on the same page.
If you don’t feel you can trust your advisor, after raising any concerns you have, if they are not adequately addressed, find another one.
Trust both your reason and your emotions on this.
There’s a lot at stake in this relationship, so you want it to work well.
