  9. Financial advisors?

    in Dumpster

    Posted

    I have worked as a financial advisor & I currently have a financial advisor for persoanl executor reasons. I also invest on my own via http://www.vanguard.com . My comparison track record is close even money using Vanguard Balanced Mutual funds. Actually I still have a Vanguard Mutual investment I made 25 yrs ago & my % commissioned financial advisor who's performance history I know well also has picked same Vanguard Balanced Mutual fund as part of my portfolio. It's really hard to beat a "No load-low expense ratio" from a Mutual fund that has a 30 + yr history. Just my 2 cents worth. Scottrade is a broker, not an investment. Every investor has a different investment scenerio. Good luck!!

     

    A little late in my response but if I may, transactional business(sales charge/loaded funds a,b,c shares) in investing is definitely becoming a way of the past. Advisory and fee based business is what most investors are doing these days if consulting with an advisor.

     

    It's always great to consult with advisors that are well licensed and credentialed in their respective field and practices. I am in the process of attaining my CFP designation currently and as part of a team, we hold various securities licenses such as series 22, 24, 39, 55, 1, 6, 7, 63, 65, and 66 and various designations ChFC, AEP, CLU, CLTC. As a practice we manage over 50 million in assets and use various research tools (both fundamentally and technically) such as mentioned morningstar, dorsey wright etc. As far as fund companies I do like some of the major players in the market mentioned, but also like others such as Ivy Funds and Evergreen Investments to name a few as well as Putnam which is a larger player. ETFs can also be advantageous for certain clients but not specific indices. Also alternative investments such as some REIT(Real Estate Investment Trusts) but only a certain few that there and LPs(Limited Partnerships) can be a great way to diversify and/or tax manage your portfolio.

     

    As stated previously the relationship and trust you have with your advisor plays a key role when it comes to your overall plan. Of course you can be with a broker/advisor that may have hit a homerun one year, but consistency and long term investing is the key so if your looking for consistent singles, doubles, and the occasional triple to put it into baseball terms that's what our goal is, which is to beat the respective benchmarks and manage risk within the clients overall financial plan.

     

    I too believe that an independent approach is a great perspective to have due to the fact you may not be biased, but several of my friends do work at firms that do have proprietary funds and programs and I believe they are very competent and give good advice as well.

     

    And yes I 2highpsi, I mainly stay in Florida but do have several clients in the central Ohio area.

     

    Wow, I meant to type a sentence or two but anyway hope some of this information may be useful to somebody.

    Thanks for feedback info, and I agree on the splash, but since we are now actively going after assets under management to a existing client base of more insurance based products after hiring our new portfolio manager, that is our only option. It really sucks how little we can change on the websites.

    So at my firm we just updated our website which we are still working out the kinks and everything involved. Even though I am in South Florida now we are looking for any feedback possible about our website as we know it is a crucial part of business in today's market. If you could please do me a favor and give any feedback/suggestions it would be much appreciated as none of us are website designers or in marketing for that matter.

    P.S. We have to use templates from Emerald Publications otherwise we would just hire a good design firm to create a much better site.

     

    Thanks in advance for your feedback.

    The surging can be taking care of by a PC III, or Teka Tuning...very easy, also you can really lean out the top end to squeeze more really through the entire rpm range...and respond pretty well to simple bolt on's on up to decent builds, but nothing like a built in-line...

     

    Also yea dover I do hover around every once in a while and actually going for a ride tomorrow...

    I had one as well, great bike...but as others stated, very heavy and unstable in corners, but can run generally with 750's but not a true 1000 inline 4 power unless you do some mod work. Great torque bikes as mentioned as well...
