This is an Investor’s Most Important Decision

I have often asked investors this question “What do you think is the most important decision for you as an investor?”

The most common answer is the choice of investment (which fund/stock or bond). The next one is “When to Invest? (Market Timing)”.

Some additional responses are “How much to Invest?” and Asset Allocation.

Very few have hit the bullseye with the correct response “Who should I trust? Or The choice of my financial professional”.

Choosing a Real Financial Professional is one of your most important decisions. If you get this right, every other piece will fall into place.
