Interviewing an Investment Professional

Before selecting an investment professional, it’s a good idea to have a face-to-face meeting.

After all, they’ll be helping you make some important decisions about your future – so you’ll want to know about them. And they’ll want to know some things about you.

What to expect

Knowing what to expect, along with a little preparation, can make your first meeting more valuable and give you confidence to select an investment professional that meets your specific needs.

You’ll have lots of questions, of course – and so will they. You can expect an investment professional to ask questions about things like:

• Your financial goals
• How much investment risk you may be comfortable with
• Whether you have any investments or retirement plans

The two of you also should talk about your health. That may be a factor in planning for medical care or long-term disability.
