Best Questions to Ask a Financial Advisor in 2023

Whether you’re planning for retirement, managing your investments, or looking for advice on financial goals, consulting with a financial advisor can prove instrumental in achieving your objectives. However, choosing the right advisor to guide you through the ever-changing world of finance can be overwhelming. As we step into 2023, here are some essential questions you should ask when selecting a financial advisor.

1. How do you stay updated with the latest financial trends?
An advisor’s ability to stay well-informed about current financial trends is crucial. As financial markets continue to evolve rapidly, you want an advisor who keeps a finger on the pulse of economic forces, changes in regulations, and evolving investment strategies. Inquire about their resources, industry certifications, and continuing education efforts to ensure they are up to date.

2. What is your investment philosophy?
Understanding your advisor’s investment philosophy is vital to determine if their strategies align with your goals and risk tolerance. Do they lean towards active or passive investing? Are they focused on value or growth investments? This question will help you gauge if their approach matches your preferences.

3. What fees do you charge, and how are they structured?
Be transparent about fees and understand the advisor’s fee structure before entering into any agreement. Ask about management fees, trading fees, and any other miscellaneous charges that may apply. Clarify if they earn commissions on specific investments, as this might influence the recommendations they provide.

4. Are you a fiduciary?
A fiduciary has the legal obligation to act in your best interest at all times. Inquire whether your potential financial advisor operates as a fiduciary or follows a suitability standard. Choosing a fiduciary advisor ensures that their advice is free from conflicts of interest, promoting a higher level of trust and transparency.

5. Can you provide references or testimonials from clients?
Client testimonials and references offer valuable insights into an advisor’s work ethic, professionalism, and the satisfaction of their previous clients. Requesting references allows you to gauge the advisor’s track record and the opinions of individuals who have experienced their services firsthand.

6. What is your approach to financial planning?
Financial planning involves reviewing and analyzing your current financial situation to create a roadmap for achieving your future goals. Inquire about the advisor’s approach, tools, and expertise in financial planning. Ask whether they will provide a comprehensive plan or just focus on specific areas like investment management.

7. How do you assess risk tolerance and develop investment strategies?
Understanding how an advisor assesses risk tolerance is vital. Risk tolerance varies for each individual, and it’s important that your advisor considers your comfort level when constructing your investment portfolio. Ask how they determine an appropriate asset allocation strategy and how often they reassess and adjust investments based on market conditions.

8. What happens if you are no longer available to provide advice?
It’s crucial to know in advance what happens if your advisor is temporarily or permanently unable to provide advice. Inquire about backup support or whether they have a succession plan in place to ensure continuity in managing your financial affairs.

Selecting the right financial advisor is a crucial step towards achieving your financial goals and securing your future. By asking these essential questions, you can ensure you identify an advisor who aligns with your investment philosophy, communicates transparently, and can deliver the expertise you need in today’s ever-changing financial landscape.

    If you have a financial advisor you are getting screwed

  2. David Antony

    I wasn't financial free until my 40’s and I’m still in my 40’s, bought my third house already, earn on a monthly through passive income, and got 4 out of 5 goals, just hope it encourages someone that it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any of them right now, you can start TODAY regardless your age INVEST and change your future! Investing in the financial market is a grand choice I made. Great video! Thanks for sharing!

    Very inspiring! I love this.

  3. TOM S

    The most important question , ask if the Advisor uses ESG guild lines because these financial Advisor are more concerned getting stock that are woke and are investing your money into stocks that are more concerned about Clement Change or social rating or how they voted then making money for you. Retirees are losing money in their pension IRA because the Advisor is investing in stock with your money and the money is going to woke companies and they don't care if you make money. ESG is against everything that is American Capitalism. Read up on ESG, it is true go WOKE go BROKE.

  4. Mary Glen

    Nobody can become financially successful overnight. They put in background work but we tend to see the finished part. Fear is a dangerous component, hindering us from taking the bold steps we need in other to reach our goals.

  5. Shahzain Ali

    I extremely like the video, man. Very helpful and informative. Thank you very much. It is presented so well too. Great, positive work.

  6. Ray Palermo

    Mr Ramsey said in one of his videos if you feel like your working with a salesman then run!!!.He said they should teach you and guide also,not just take your money and not tell you where its going and why.

  7. Ray Palermo

    So you state that you are not an advisor anymore .have you done ok for yourself over the past ten years .I know that covid hit alot of people in the wallet and the average investor lost about 23 percent.

  8. l33tninja1

    And whats stoping them from just lieing to your face?

  9. Ring A. Leaveo

    Fiduciary my a$$, they're salespeople that could have been working at Sleepy's last month selling mattresses! Word of the year "Fiduciary"

  10. Des

    I don't know why anybody would ever pay for a financial advisor.. unless you're making like 10 million a year or something. It's so easy to manage your own money

  11. xGUDDAx

    Fiduciary

  12. Brian Hearden

    Those are questions a very ignorant investor with $2000 to put to work would ask. Sure I have a series 65 like all advisors so yes, I'm a fiduciary. Is that true? Would you ask a realtor what the "all in costs" are of a house you have never seen? How in God's green earth would we know your "all in costs" until we know how we're going to manage your investments? If you lead with those 3 questions I'm gonna hand you off to an intern or a house account. Sorry but 3 is all I can take.

  13. AmezTrader

    How do you post something two years ago and call it 2023?

    This video was extremely helpful. I'm looking for a financial planner and trying to even know where to start is so difficult. Thanks so much for this knowledge!

  15. michael carter

    My financial advisor stopped the every 6 months calls once I transferred my old 403b over to them. Haven't heard from him in like a year. Hasn't answered my last text from like weeks ago.

  16. mary parra reyes

    I feel the same way as S . Thank you for using understandable terms.

  17. Greg b

  19. monica majak

    appreciate you!!!!!

  20. Sound Doctrine

    Thanks for the video! Question: How long should I remain or part ways with a financial investor if I am losing money, not really understanding the advise, or overall feeling like I am paying out more money to their fees than I am actually making? Thanks in advance!

  21. Rene Seib

    100% FACT’s the BANK can never ever lend nor loan you anything, it own nothing… and it dose not loan nor lend you one CENT or a PENNY ever… you all been LIED to cheated betrayed and made to look like fools by these secret societies of corporate whores… of men and women,..

    Here are some HARD FACTS: this is from the Vatican Church laws its thee World Biggest and it is the DADDY over all other Corporations worldwide…

    Trust? Its the Secret Trust?
    The law ROMAN CANON LAW

    3.3 Rights Suspension and Corruption
    Article 100 – Cestui Que Vie Trust

    Canon 2057
    Any Administrator or Executor that refuses to immediately dissolve a Cestui Que (Vie) Trust, or if the man/woman wants to take control upon their Private Person establishing their status and competency, The Fiduciary is guilty of fraud and fundamental breach of their fiduciary duties requiring their immediate removal and punishment

    Canon 2045
    By 1815 and the bankruptcy of the Crown and Bank of England by the Rothschilds, for the 1st time, the Cestui Que Vie Trusts of the United Kingdom became assets placed in private banks effectively becoming "private trusts" or "Fide Commissary Trusts" administered by commissioners (guardians). From 1835 and the Wills Act, these private trusts have been also considered "Secret Trusts" whose existence does not need to be divulged.

    Canon 2046
    From 1917/18 with the enactment of the Sedition Act and the Trading with the Enemy Act in the United States and through the United Kingdom, the citizens of the Commonwealth and the United States became effectively "enemies of the state" and "aliens" which in turn converted the "Fide Commissary" private secret trusts to "Foreign Situs" (Private International) Trusts.

    Canon 2047
    In 1931, the Roman Cult, also known as the Vatican created the Bank for International Settlements for the control of claimed property of associated private central banks around the world. Upon the deliberate bankruptcy of most countries, private central banks were installed as administrators and the global Cestui Que Vie/Foreign Situs Trust system was implemented from 1933 onwards.

    Canon 2048
    Since 1933, when a child is borne in a State(Estate) under inferior Roman law, three (3) Cestui Que (Vie) Trusts are created upon certain presumptions, specifically designed to deny the child forever any rights of Real Property, any Rights as a Free Person and any Rights to be known as man and woman rather than a creature or animal, by claiming and possessing their Soul or Spirit.

    Canon 2049
    Since 1933, upon a new child being borne, the Executors or Administrators of the higher Estate willingly and knowingly convey the beneficial entitlements of the child as Beneficiary into the 1st Cestui Que(Vie) Trust in the form of a Registry Number by registering the Name, thereby also creating the Corporate Person and denying the child any rights as an owner of Real Property.

    Canon 2050
    Since 1933, when a child is borne, the Executors or Administrators of the higher Estate knowingly and willingly claim the baby as chattel to the Estate. The slave baby contract is then created by honouring the ancient tradition of either having the ink impression of the feet of the baby onto the live birth record, or a drop of its blood as well as tricking the parents to signing the baby away through the deceitful legal meanings on the live birth record. This live birth record as a promissory note is converted into a slave bond sold to the private reserve bank of the estate and then conveyed into a 2nd and separate Cestui Que (Vie) Trust per child owned by the bank. Upon the promissory note reaching maturity and the bank being unable to “seize” the slave child, a maritime lien is lawfully issued to “salvage” the lost property and itself monetized as currency issued in series against the Cestui Que (Vie) Trust.

    Canon 2051
    Each Cestui Que Vie Trust created since 1933 represents one of the 3 Crowns representing the 3 claims of property of the Roman Cult, being Real Property, Personal Property and Ecclesiastical Property and the denial of any rights to men and women, other than those chosen as loyal members of the society and as Executors and Administrators.

    Canon 2052
    The Three (3) Cestui Que Vie Trusts are the specific denial of rights of Real Property, Personal Property and Ecclesiastical Property for most men and women, corresponds exactly to the three forms of law available to the Galla of the Bar Association Courts. The first form of law is corporate commercial law is effective because of the 1st Cestui Que Vie Trust. The second form of law is maritime and trust law is effective because of the 2nd Cestui Que Vie Trust. The 3rd form of law is Talmudic and Roman Cult law is effective because of the 3rd Cestui Que Vie Trust of Baptism.

    Canon 2053
    The Birth Certificate issued under Roman Law represents the modern equivalent to the Settlement Certificates of the 17th century and signifies the holder as a pauper and effectively a Roman Slave.

    The Birth Certificate has no direct relationship to the private secret trusts controlled by the private banking network, nor can it be used to force the administration of a state or nation to divulge the existence of these secret trusts.

    Canon 2054
    As the Cestui Que Vie Trusts are created as private secret trusts on multiple presumptions including the ongoing bankruptcy of certain national estates, they remain the claimed private property of the Roman Cult banks and therefore cannot be directly claimed or used.

    Canon 2055
    While the private secret trusts of the private central banks cannot be directly addressed, they are still formed on certain presumptions of law including claimed ownership of the name, the body, the mind and soul of infants, men and women. Each and every man and woman has the absolute right to rebuke and reject such false presumptions as a member of One Heaven and holder of their own title.

    Canon 2056
    Given the private secret trusts of the private central banks are created on false presumptions, when a man or woman makes clear their Live Borne Record and claim over their own name, body, mind and soul, any such trust based on such false presumptions ceases to have any property.

    Canon 2057
    Any Administrator or Executor that refuses to immediately dissolve a Cestui Que (Vie) Trust, upon a Person establishing their status and competency, is guilty of fraud and fundamental breach of their fiduciary duties requiring their immediate removal and punishment.

    One can take control of it the Trust Estate or “Dissolve” it completely and move all Asset to your own account and take control of your Copyright Name and NAME Trademark and Tradename NAME. And write your own Promissory note as this is Tender Cash.

    You have three choices:
    1. Do nothing and stay a UK/U.S. CANADA/Commonwealth citizen/ slave;
    2. Cancel the bond and be free; or
    3. Claim the bond, control it, collect your 'stolen futures' and make Cash by your Signature and be free or

    Carry on bowing on your knees with your face in the dirt, and work as a slave for low wages… your choice… when you have an endless supply of cash in your hands your own private trust where you are the private banker.

    All Loans – All Mortgages, All Financial loans, All Overdrafts, All types of loans, Wages Insurances, and many many more things, everything is 100% Fraudulent and everyone has been mislead by many corporate company men and women who have lied cheated and have betrayed and deceived you in every-way — every-day… so many people have lost so much through these Secret Societies of Whores of men and women who PREY on you all… are everything was withheld, Suppressed and Concealed from everyone… till NOW… OPEN YOUR EYE… and see the plain simple truth… From Master; conrad hendricks.

    Every baby born has this trust… you was never ever told about it…
