Here are some questions for your current advisor:

 

• Do you use a benchmark to compare the performance of my total portfolio (not my individual funds)?  If so, how is it determined?

 

• How do you expect to protect my investments in the event of another major market correction or if you think one may be imminent?

 

• What is your process for rebalancing my portfolio? 

 

• What is the total of the fund management fees and your fee as a percentage of my total portfolio?

 

• Do you sell commission-based financial products?  If so, how can I be certain that you have placed my interests ahead of your own?
