They advise, you make decisions. You are paying them for advice and the ability to teach you enough to make smart decisions about your investments. You are not handing over this responsibility because they are professionals. Retain ownership and responsibility for all final decisions.

Don’t invest in anything unless you can easily explain how the investment works to someone else. If you can’t communicate easily with your financial advisor, find one that does a better job of communicating. Take your time and make wise decisions.

A note on Separate Account Managers: I will never use these. They are third party investment professionals that buy and sell stocks or mutual funds on your behalf. Do what is best for you and stick with a team of managers of large and experienced staff.

We Recommend - Guaranteed Investment Funds
We Recommend - Guaranteed Investment Funds
Also called Segregated Funds. Here’s our team approach. We select guaranteed investment funds that have a winning track record of more than 5 years and preferably more than 10 years. We don’t look at their 1 year or 3 year track records because we think long term. We spread investing evenly across four types of funds. That means we put 25% of investments into each of the following:

Single Stocks
Single Stocks
Haven't found a PRO yet. We do not recommend single stocks and do not suggest single stocks as part of your investment plan. Over the long term, single stock investors don’t consistently generate returns as high as guaranteed investment funds. If you really want to own a single stock, limit it to no more than 10% of your investment portfolio. They are subject to extremes. Your golfing buddy has not figured it out.

Insurance: Life, Disability and Long Term Care (LTC)
Insurance: Life, Disability and Long Term Care (LTC)
I recommend purchasing 15 year (or longer) term life Insurance that’s equal to 8 - 10 times your annual income, cover debts for sure. We strongly suggest purchasing long term disability insurance in the event you become disabled if it is affordable. Make LTC a part of your plan when you turn 60.
