So are there ways to learn how to find a financial advisor?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>If you owned a business, you could find consultants for specific aspects of the business (such as marketing or legal compliance), but you should not expect to find a consultant to do the main work of building a profitable business. That is the business owner\u2019s concern and responsibility.<\/li><li>Likewise, you should not hire an advisor with the expectation that she can make you outlandish amounts of money without your involvement.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What distinguishes good advisors from bad advisors?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Good financial advisors are scrupulous and don\u2019t overpromise. When you communicate your goals and the type of help you\u2019re looking for, they customize what they do for you. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/what-are-you-curious-about\/\">Your interests<\/a> are aligned\u2014they see your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/achieving-financial-success\/\">financial success<\/a> as their success.<\/li><li>Bad financial advisors seek to pad their own pockets, regardless of what happens to you. They prey on your greed and impulsiveness and will try to override your best judgment. Their incentives may overlap minorly with yours or even be in direct opposition.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you actually <em>need<\/em> an advisor? Graham doesn\u2019t advise much on this, but Zweig suggests that you should seek an advisor in these cases when considering how to find a financial advisor:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>If you habitually underperform the market<\/li><li>If your personal finance budget is out of control\u2014you can\u2019t pay your bills, and you don\u2019t save any money<\/li><li>If you experience any major changes or crises, such as leaving steady employment or being unable to plan for college tuition or retirement<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Defensive and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/aggressive-investors\/\">aggressive investors<\/a> should look for different things from investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/defensive-investors\/\">Defensive investors<\/a> should find advisors who will help them achieve average market returns\u2014no better, and no worse. Typically, <strong>advisors help defensive investors by protecting them against themselves<\/strong> and the worst of their own psychology.<\/li><li>Aggressive investors should find advisors who will be useful sounding boards for their investment ideas. Aggressive investors should examine the advice they receive and form their own conclusions, rather than simply taking opinions on faith.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Beware of these common pitfalls when seeking advisors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Don\u2019t rely on advisors to make above-average returns <em>for<\/em> you without your involvement. Finding advisors who can do this is as difficult as finding individual stocks that will outperform. Before hiring someone who can achieve this, you should be able to independently assess the validity of their recommendations, which means you have already become an aggressive investor.<\/li><li>Don\u2019t hire advisors simply to have someone to blame for your own mistakes. Some speculators make up their mind on what they want to do and hire an advisor to approve their decisions; when these go poorly, they blame the advisors instead of themselves.&nbsp;<\/li><li>In his commentary, Zweig cautions against advisors who use these red flags in their speech:<ul><li>Guarantees: \u201cIt\u2019s a sure thing.\u201d \u201cYou can\u2019t lose.\u201d \u201cThere\u2019s no downside.\u201d<\/li><li>Overpromises: \u201cWe can beat the market.\u201d \u201cYou\u2019ll retire early.\u201d<\/li><li>Secrets only they have: \u201cOur proprietary system.\u201d \u201cNo one else can do this.\u201d \u201cExclusive.\u201d<\/li><li>Unfamiliar jargon they aren\u2019t willing to explain: \u201cCommodities trading.\u201d \u201cOptions strategy.\u201d<\/li><li>Urgency: \u201cYou have to act now.\u201d \u201cOpportunity of a lifetime.\u201d \u201cOnce-in-a-decade.\u201d<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know how to find a financial advisor, you can choose one that works for you and your financial needs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you want to know how to find a financial advisor?
