Warren Buffett has often advised people to steer clear of financial advisors, and in this video he explains why their poor advice can be so harmful to investing performance.

But a low fee index fund and never touch it again. Just buy it regularly and never stop. You will beat 90 percent of "advisors"

@@hudsanity_1590 I watched a Bogelhead Conference video and the speaker noted that less than 0.1% of advisors beat the market consistently. In other words, 99.9% do NOT beat a low cost S&P500 index.
Which annual meeting was this clip taken from? It would be helpful if you could reference the date somewhere.
Charging for skill and delivering closet indexation - exactly.
Yea unfortunately a lot of financial advisors are salesman, stay away from financial advisors from insurance companies. If they sell insurance and are commission based then run. The minority of financial advisory firms are good though, as long as they don’t sell insurance and are fee based then I think they are solid

Financial Advisors shared the gains, not the losses.
Because once you bring it back to the middle then people can start gaining wealth again but I think at that point they’re going to see gaining wealth isn’t worth it and that’s the whole point but first we got to get back to center OK that’s going to balance everything off and that’s what we need to do.

Exactly, DIY is easy, construct a three or four fund Worldwide portfolio and go on about your life. Easy as pie. Wall Streeters like to stir it up in order to maximize "FEES". If you need to hire an RIA, don't pay over 0.40% per annum for Assets Under Management (AUM). Good luck finding one that will work for you and at that price. Oh, and don't forget they get discretionary control over your money. READ the Contract and you will see. Your only recourse is to fire them unless you can find a non-discretionary RIA. Hard to do but I found one.

Curious how ppl critque a sales person as not adding value when the market clearly still demands the sales person. Etrade opened its retail window in the early 2000s I think? Plenty of places offer no sales person trading. Funny how uncomfortable the analyst & engineer types are when they put zero value on the relationship & consultant side of the transaction. It is to me a particuliar lack of wisdom. For me personally I dislike when i am required to chat a robot to troubleshoot problems or call a robot to get me to a customer service person sometimes that person is helpful but not all the time. If the market values the service then they provide value & given there are options to not use service it seems that they are providing genuine service or ppl wouldnt continue to pay them. Beside Mr. Buffet often says how important it is to be good at communicating & I would arugue the job of a sales person is primarly communication something analyst are often grossly negligent

Totally agree. I think it's likely hard for Warren to understand that finance and investing is a foreign language for many people and is overwhelming. Can they learn, of course, but they also likely have a normal job and that kind of knowledge takes years. Let's also not forget that it's not easy. Warren and charlie might be the best ever and they had 3.3% profit margin in 2022. That alone speaks to the difficulty. You could have probably achieved close to that in T bills.

Here’s my problem with this… Buffett has been supremely successful, but to say “you could do it yourself” may be true but only for a similarly small number of people who have time, experience, staff, and patience. There aren’t really that many people. Many could build their own home and save a fortune in contractor and builder costs…. BUT …

your point is well taken, actually both Warren and Jack Bogle both at their core said don't do what we were raised to tell you but instead go direct. Warren virtually said don't loan your money to the insurance company, rather buy the insurance company. Jack said don't pay a broker to buy your stocks, simply buy them yourself. Both agree the guy between you
