Some Consultants Emphatically Say … No!
Nope! So says Andre’ Cappon, Guy Manual, Stephan Mignot and Seth Varnhagen of the CBM Group, Inc; a consulting firm in Manhattan, New York. In fact, while writing in Registered Rep – a trade magazine for FAs in September 2009 – they estimate that long-term real (adjusted for inflation), actual (after taxes, fees and market timing) returns for the average retail investor, to be around 0 percent. That’s right; not the 8-12 percent usually attributed to long term investing trends.
Or; do you simply have the wrong type of Financial Advisor [FA]?
