One of the most important questions you will explore in your financial life is how to (or if you should) choose a financial advisor. This is also one of the most difficult questions to answer because picking the right financial advisor comes down to more than just using the one that your friends use. Friends don't often know the difference between a financial advisor and a registered investment advisor, for example, yet you will replicate their choice which might not have been thoroughly thought out.
Their financial advisor may put them in the wrong investments for their stage in life, overcharge them, engage in too much trading activity which increases taxes and transaction costs, and most importantly, tout that they can outperform the S&P 500 Index, despite the fact that fewer than 10% of Financial Advisors can consistently achieve such an incredible feat.
This video puts rigor around selecting the best financial advisor for retirement for your specific needs by giving you 12 questions that you should ask before considering any financial advisor. Most importantly, it helps you work out who is on "team you" versus "team themselves."

I manage my own money and will continue t do so, but I am looking for an advisor because I need someone to advise me on taxes and allocation information. Simply put I need to know if its more beneficial to pay off my house before I retire or not. I thought this was an easy question because I make more in the market then the % on my house, but then I was listening to an advisor and realized I will need to draw 40k yearly just for the house and this will significantly affect my taxes.I think an advisor is not just to tell you what to invest in.

It sounds like your retirement plan worked out well for you! Glad it did. There are many different considerations for people with differing situations. For instance if you don't have a pension but were able to put away a large tax differed account like a 401K or IRA that person or couple could be looking at a much larger RMD payment than they would had they looked at their entire tax situation while they still had time to adjust it. Taking ROTH conversions or using tax deferred funds to live off early in retirement might be a good choice for some.

I have a hard time believing some of them. I went to a two program series presented by a fiduciary. The first one was educational, the second one appeared to be a sales pitch for annuities. But he kept saying that he wasn’t promoting them. He wanted to set up individual meetings and we had a teleconference. That’s when he said he had resources to send us to to purchase products. Get educated and let the buyer beware. Great video!

The leg work will pay off. At about age 58 I set up a vacation week and met 4 different promising looking advisors. At the end of the week there was a clear choice, a fee based CFP that was very detailed oriented and intent on understanding our goals. We stared on a ala carte format, creating a plan and seeing that we had a viable future. After a few years we put things under his management and retired in the pandemic at 64. Communication is solid, advice and methodology is sound and life is good.

I put in 50k in TSLA, NFLX ALB stocks with the help of my F,A Janet Santa Sherry and made 220k, but guess what? I put it back with her again and now I’m rounding up close to 500k. Focus on the company not just the stock price.

Over the last two years and six months, I've seen my income generate wealth, and I now have a fully paid-off house and at least $2.2 million in savings. All of this is the result of subsequent investments and the application of expert advice.

I have had a few Financial Advisors over the last 11 years. One question that would be good is to find out how much market loss will take place on your portfolio before they adjust or modify it. Many firms use 20% as a benchmark before taking action, even on a conservative portfolio. I think action should be taken sooner than a 20% fall.

How could you possibly know in advance that there will be a 20% fall? And if you sell when the market is down, you've just locked in a loss! Market drops are common and if you did sell just at what seems to be the right time, how do you know when to buy back in? Trading in and out is just about a sure way to lose money in the long run IMHO..

A little confusing, a mutual fund can be an index fund. I think the correct adjectives are passive/index fund versus actively managed fund. If you believe the research, long term it's nearly impossible to outperform the markets after the costs of active management. So I agree with GS that you want to avoid an advisor that's pushing actively managed funds. But if you're going to use index funds, and you have some time on your hands, how hard is it to implement a 3-fund or 4-fund portfolio? I strongly suspect that most people these days don't need or benefit from the advisor model, instead they'll get everything they need from a solid accountant, who can guide them through rebalancing, cash flow, taxes, etc. And that's on an hourly fee basis, from someone that specializes in not making tax errors (that can erode returns as fast as anything).

Great timely video as I'm in conversation with a major group (EJ) and the annual fees (north of 3.5%) are concerning when compared to that group that managed my company 401K plan (TRP). I pay a quarterly fee to the latter group of about 20 dollars. My current takeaway from the group I'm entertaining conversations with is a heavy push towards their Christian values AND am I going to move all funds from my previous work provider over to them ---- the comment was "I want it all to help you". Nothing against either firm but I am getting pyschovibes about putting everything in one basket and what I think is high annual fees as it based on my invested savings versus return or growth. Honestly, I am just nervous to change anything right now.

I asked a modified version of your question to ChatGPT. I found the response interesting advice. Sharing here for your benefit... What kind of financial advisor can help me with planning social security vs IRA draws and other tax domicile questions for expat retirement? If you're an expat and have questions about planning your retirement income, including how to draw on your social security benefits and IRA, you may want to consider working with a financial advisor who has experience working with expats and understands the tax implications of living abroad. Specifically, you may want to look for a financial advisor who has expertise in the following areas: International Taxation: It's important to work with someone who understands the tax laws in your country of residence as well as in the US. Look for someone with experience dealing with the complexities of US taxes for expats, including foreign tax credits and tax treaties. Retirement Planning: A financial advisor with expertise in retirement planning can help you create a strategy for drawing down your retirement savings in a tax-efficient manner. Social Security Planning: If you're eligible for social security benefits, it's important to understand the rules around claiming benefits while living abroad. A financial advisor can help you determine the best time to claim your benefits and how to maximize your payments. Estate Planning: Depending on your situation, you may need to create an estate plan that considers both US and foreign tax laws. A financial advisor with expertise in estate planning can help you create a plan that meets your needs. Cross-Cultural Communication: Working with a financial advisor who is fluent in both English and the language of your country of residence can help ensure that there are no misunderstandings due to language or cultural barriers. In summary, when choosing a financial advisor to help you with your retirement planning as an expat, it's important to look for someone who has experience in international taxation, retirement planning, social security planning, estate planning, and cross-cultural communication. -ChatGPT Feb 13 Version.

@@johngill2853 Roth's have some serious limitations, if you look at successful Roth conversions they are usually 1) business owners, 2) people using retirement for non-retirement (inheritance) or in some cases 3) huge funds. Generally Roth is bad for the regular man, but there are exceptions. Those limitations involve the compounding of the deferred taxes, and two the lowering of low numbers (lack of a sufficient tax gap as changing taxes from 7% to 5% the payback just isnt there)
