Thanks for the comment, Mark. I am glad you are getting good results from investing in passive index trackers. I agree that commission-based advice can be suspect, but advisers haven’t actually been allowed to offer advice on this basis since 2013 for pensions or other investments. I pay my adviser a fee and consider it well worth it for the returns his recommendations have achieved, but obviously everyone will have their own views about this.

Once I learned how to passive invest in index trackers 15 years ago, my returns have been much higher than when I used an FA and I’ve never looked back.

Thanks for the comment. Yes, a good financial adviser will take into account your family circumstances and advise accordingly.

Not only to assist you with your monies but to aid you to help others too.
