Do you have enough for retirement?

 

You want to know you’ll have enough money for your retirement years and think you could benefit from the advice of a professional. But you’re worried that if you do get advice, you may end up getting sold a bunch of financial products or investments that aren’t right for you

So how do you choose an advisor that’s right for you? We’re here to help you with that!

Would it be valuable to get clarity around your goals for the future and put it on paper?

What do I need to know when selecting a financial advisor?

 

When selecting a financial advisor, the first thing you need to do is determine what kind of advisor you’re looking for.

 

  • If you want advice solely on setting up an investment portfolio, then a general investment advisor may be fine for you. They focus on making your money grow and don’t provide advice on any other financial matters.
  • If you’re looking for more tailored advice, you need to find a financial advisor with an appropriate area of specialization. This is particularly important if you want to plan for your retirement years, as you’ll need an advisor who can help you prepare for your overall financial future.

What are my options for managing my money?

 

It can be a little overwhelming trying to figure out the best way to manage your money. These are three of the most common ways to manage your money:

 

  • You can work with an advisor at your bank. They can set up investment accounts for you and sell you investments that the bank offers. 
  • You can set up an account with your bank’s online discount brokerage and pick your own investments. This means you do more of the work yourself and your own research.
  • You can work with an advisory firm that provides end-to-end financial planning and investment management. You will receive comprehensive financial and tax planning advice that’s tailored to your situation.
