In this episode, we explain the practical "how-to" steps of starting your search for an adviser that you'll be happy with forever. No fluff here. Cold, hard things to investigate, to ensure you're not wasting your precious time. Where to start and more importantly, the free tell-all research you can do before you even pick up the phone to make an appoitment. We've got some sneaky things to look for when you show up at the office and some really telling questions to ask - and the answers you need to hear. This is episode 2 of our 3 part series about how to pick a good financial adviser. Episode 3 deals with what to expect when you engage a financial adviser/planner, what we think is fair and whether you're getting, what we think, is value for money.
