Accurate asset allocation is crucial. Some use hedging or defensive assets in their portfolio for market downturns. Seeking financial advice is vital. This approach has kept me financially secure for over five years, with a return on investment of nearly $1 million.

Exactly, I used to doubt the value of a financial advisor until my wife's company assigned her an investment adviser in 2020. Honestly, it’s been the best financial decision I’ve made. It helped tremendously; I went from barely making any profit to having a well-diversified portfolio that has grown significantly, with gains exceeding $850k.

I admire the financial independence of people, But you can live better if you work a little more. After watching this I think there are people out there, on the extreme, who plan to die early just to be able to retire early. To each their own but to me, retirement isn't just about not having to work, it's about having the freedom to do whatever you might reasonably want, such as travel, buying things, enjoying life, etc. I don't think I could retire with less than $3m in income-generating investments, maybe $2m at the very minimum. I plan to work until I'm at least 45

Hey Karthik, thanks for watching and for this awesome question! Sorry it took me a little while to reply. Mutual funds have something called a propsectus, which is a document that details the fund's objectives, risks, fees, and expenses. Seems like this could be what you're searching for!

Great question! You can invest in mutual funds either way, little by little or all at once. Personally, I would do it little by little rather than in one lump sum payment, just in case the market takes a dive shortly after I invest.

A family member recommended a broker they have used for years and like so I've discussed buying Mutual Funds through him. He told me the buy in will be 3% upfront which he gets paid 1% out of that. I asked about a yearly management fee and he told me there isn't a yearly fee. Once I pay the one fee I'll never be charged anymore fees for a managed Fund. Is that correct? Everything I've read talks about additional fees.

Hey there, thanks for watching and thanks for the great question! Every manager and every fund is different, so what he's telling you may be correct. However, he may only be referring to his piece of the pie as a financial adviser. There's a whole other layer here that you need to consider. Whatever mutual funds your advisor selects and purchases shares of on your behalf will almost certainly have fees attached to them. They might be a "no-load" fund, meaning you're not charged a percentage for buying and selling shares, but managed mutual funds all have annual expenses (many of which are considered marketing expenses and paid out to financial advisors who recommend the fund to their clients) and those expenses will eat away at your annual returns. The only way to learn about those expenses is to ask to see the prospectus for the individual managed fund. That will provide you with all the numbers.
