We’re starting to feel confident, almost willing to guarantee, that the following list of things will continue and investors will have NO control over them:
- Subdued returns on investments
- Market volatility
- Economic uncertainty and slow growth
- High unemployment
- Global debt crises
- Washington gridlock
There is also another item that we can and will guarantee with certainty investors will continue doing throughout these times:
- Pay investment fees to financial advisors and the financial services industry that directly reduce the investor’s returns and subsequently lose out on the power of compounding over time.
You’re probably thinking, now there’s some comforting news…not. Sometimes reality hurts and it can easily instill fear. Unfortunately, what is still fresh in the mind of investors at times like these are 401k’s being slammed by a couple massive market meltdowns over the past decade, and now the possibility of another impending bubble and/or recession.
So what is an investor to do? Here is where we inspire, uplift, and provide investors with some good news. Paying investment fees is totally optional and within the control of every investor…100% of them.
Now here’s even better news about fees: Reduce investment fees by a miniscule 2-3% per year and a Gen-X or Gen-Y investor can easily double or triple their wealth by retirement (respectively). This can be achieved without contributing any additional savings or taking greater risk with your investments.
If you’re ready to have your money maximize YOUR returns and YOUR wealth:
Do This – Start learning how to:
- Invest on your own
- Become your own most-trusted financial advisor
- Guarantee your money is building wealth for YOU…NOT someone else
- Take a percentage of your investments, move these funds to a low-cost brokerage account (such as Scottrade), and leverage the benefits of Diversification 2.0.
Not That – Invest with a financial advisor whose main focus is to build the wealth of himself/herself and their respective company before that of the individual investor. (Unless you’re an investor that doesn’t care whose wealth your money is building.)
