There are lots of things which you can invest, and lots of things than you can invest in. When the investment subject is money, the choices and the processes can be overwhelming so it is wise to enlist the help of an investment advisor. To invest money is to commit funds or capital in order to build a financial gain.

The investment advisor's services mainly deal in two categories: finance advice, and asset management..

Financial advice is given not only in matters of investing, but also borrowing, retirement planning, insurance, and saving. In business, in particular, the transfer of risk from the business to another entity (the insurance company) is very essential to the security of the company. Without it, one error could wipe a company out.

The transfer of the risk in exchange for a fee is known as insurance. In retirement planning the investment advisor will recommend what percentage of income needs to be invested to reach the desired amount of funds by the target retirement date..

Asset management refers to the management of collective investments. The investors could be institutions or private investors. Some examples of institutions would be insurance companies, and corporations. Private investors work via investment contracts and, more commonly, via mutual funds. Services of the asset manager include financial analysis, asset selection, stock selection, implementation, and investment monitoring..

Depending on the nature of your relationship, you can enlist the counsel of an investment advisor for a fee based on the percentage of your assets being managed, or on an hourly flat fee basis. An investment advisor will help you to better understand your financial limits and expectations.
