You’re looking for an advisor – that perfect fit: someone who gets you and your communication style, someone who will carry out your wishes and meet your family’s needs after you pass, and someone who keeps an eye on your portfolio, so you feel comfortable and confident in your investment approach quarter to quarter. Now picture this advisor. Is it someone who takes the time to understand your financial situation, goals and the returns you want to achieve? Or is it a robo-advisor offering a one-size-fits-all plan with no context or window into your life?
In this episode, Jason Deshayes is joined by financial advisor Derek Williams from Cook Wealth to discuss the pros and cons of trusting online financial advisors. They caution the lack of personal experience that’s often concealed and discuss what you really need when the market shifts unpredictably – a trusted person one phone call away, or a virtual chat with a bot?
Derek discusses:
- How online influencers can reel you into buying certain stocks that might not fit your objective
- The personal ties that an in-person financial advisor can offer you
- Some reasons why people gravitate towards trusting online resources to help them invest
