In the first place, what causes many investors to distance themselves from investment agents is the belief that the amount to be invested is too small compared to the fortune and assets of other people. However, this belief is unfounded, as many agents are willing to help investors, regardless of the amount to be invested by the investor. My advice is: always be open about your objectives and amounts to be applied, this way your consultant will be the most faithful to your purposes and values.
Second, what drives investors away from investment advisers is the belief that an independent investment agent is too expensive . Of course, consultancies start with a chat that usually has no cost, and usually evolve into a consultancy with some kind of fixed or variable charge. However, the benefit of starting to invest correctly far outweighs the costs of consulting at a fair price.
Third, what drives investors away is low confidence in the investment agent . As in any profession, there are good professionals and there are bad professionals. To be a great professional in this market will take years of studies, years of hard work, and experience. My recommendation is that you check the professional's certifications , as well as their references . With good recommendations and years of experience, the chances that you will be well advised increase considerably.
Fourth, we have shame . Many investors are too shy to explain their real financial situation to an advisor. Remember that we all have a beginning, we all start somewhere very close to zero, and I guarantee that many of the great investors started with less than you are willing to invest. Investing is above all a habit and an act of rebellion by someone who aspires to be free one day.
For these reasons, I believe that you should immediately rely on a market professional who has experience, references, and certifications. This way you will take the first big step in the world of investments.
