Investment Help

If you are seeking investment help, look at the video here on my services. If you are seeking a different approach to managing your assets, you have landed at the right spot. I am a fee-only advisor registered in the State of Maryland, charge less than half the going rate for investment management, and seek to teach individuals how to manage their own assets using low-cost indexed exchange traded funds. Please call or email me if interested in further details. My website is at http://www.rwinvestmentstrategies.com. If you are new to investing, take a look at the "DIY Investor Newbie" posts here by typing "newbie" in the search box above to the left. These take you through the basics of what you need to know in getting started on doing your own investing.

Constructing a Diversified Portfolio or How DIYers Can Save $1,000s

In this earlier post we examined performance for various parts of the market over the past 20 years along with the performance of a diversified portfolio. This video shows how a do-it-yourselfer might use exchange traded funds (iShares used in the example) to construct a portfolio along the lines of the diversified portfolio. It shows that in the end the cost is a lot less than the cost charged by professional managers. If you are satisfied that your manager is doing a good job then by all means stick with them. On the other hand if you are thinking of managing your own assets this video will hopefully be instructive. Information on the exchange traded funds mentioned can be found at iShares . Their yields can be found at Morningstar .
