You have to decide who does the work for each process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Financial planning produces your roadmap for savings rates, budgets, insurance, tax, retirement, estate, and other financial criteria<\/li><li>The investment advisory process allocates assets, selects money managers, and produces performance analytics<\/li><li>The money management process selects securities for investment and makes buy\/sell decisions.

Is it you or a planning professional? Very few investors have all of the requisite knowledge due to the many facets of the planning process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two types of planning service providers. There is the Personal Financial Planner who meets with you face-to-face. This service is more expensive, but the best professional provides a plan that is tailored to your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You also have the Online Financial Planner who is accessible by telephone and email. Some online planners are also using Live Chat to communicate with clients. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.learnvest.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">LearnVest.com<\/a> is an example of an online planner that delivers low cost, standardized plans to consumers with relatively simple financial situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may also find there are Personal Financial Planners who provide tailored solutions for more complex requirements, but limit their communications to telephone, email, and video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Financial_Advisor\"><\/span><b>Financial Advisor<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You may decide to act as your own financial advisor if you have the time and necessary expertise. You make the asset allocation decisions, for example how much is invested in the stock market and the bond market. You select the money managers who invest in the securities markets. Most investors, who act as their own advisors, send their assets to a mutual fund family like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vanguard.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Vanguard<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fidelity.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Fidelity<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The traditional financial advisor is a professional who provides tailored solutions and meets with clients face-to-face. The advisor may also provide planning services so your financial plan and your investment plan are integrated. Many advisors also provide insurance and tax services themselves or through affiliated professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also select an Online Financial Advisor, also known as a Robo Advisor (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.betterment.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Betterment<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wealthfront.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Wealthfront<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sigfig.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">SigFig<\/a>), because there is little or no human contact. They have automated the advisory process. You select a model portfolio that is based on your performance expectations and your tolerance for risk. The firms\u2019 algorithms do the rest: Allocate your assets, invest in ETFs, rebalance, harvest tax losses, and produce performance reports. A principal benefit of this type of advisor is lower service fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Money_Manager\"><\/span><b>Money Manager<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the most complex role because you are selecting securities for investment. You have to research the securities, make the buy decisions, monitor the performance of securities, and make the sell decisions. You may invest in stocks, bonds, ETFs, mutual funds, hedge funds, index funds, or other types of investments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you act as the money manager you are 100% accountable for the performance of your assets. This is true even if you invest in mutual funds. You still have to select the right funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Your_Decision\"><\/span><b>Your Decision<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most consumers decide they do not have the time to do the work or the expertise to make the right decisions.
