Finding a good Financial Adviser can be hard, mainly because entering the field is easy. If you complete a few regulatory exams you can become a registered or licensed Financial Adviser and no specific skills or experience is required to become a registered or licensed Financial Adviser.
Capital Investment Group carefully select the Financial Advisers we are contracting with. All Financial Advisers undergo careful scrutiny before they are granted Terms of Business with Capital Investment Group. It is a requirement from our side to only work with licensed Financial Advisers, subject to the law on the relevant market requires.
Even though all Financial Advisers have been reviewed by us we think it is of importance that you take your time and interview the Financial Adviser before you settle with the one.
We have listed some questions we think you should ask the Financial Adviser before settlement:
1. How are you different than any other Financial Adviser?
Look for something that makes the Adviser unique, maybe they are located in your neighborhood or perhaps the Adviser meets Clients on evenings and weekends making them more accessible.
2. How many times have you changed firms and why?
Since most Advisers are commission based they often switch firms for better payout, so find out how many times they have changed firms and what the reason was. If you notice they switch often we suggest you look for another Adviser because they put their interest before client’s and chances are they will walk out on you as well.
3. Does your firm provide services other than investing such as estate planning and insurance?
Most Advisers are licensed for investments and insurance, they are not tax or estate experts. However, most firms will have an estate or tax expert available for Clients if needed. This will indicate if the firm is willing to go the extra mile for Clients, which can be a good indication of the firm’s customer satisfaction.
4. What types of services do YOU provide?
This is somewhat of a broad questions and it’s main purpose is to let the Adviser show what they are capable of doing for their Clients. Do they provide educational seminars? Are analyst reports available?
5. Can you give me some references?
Checking references is probably the best way to learn more about an Adviser and the firm. Ask if the Adviser can provide you with references. The good ones will do so gladly, just make sure they are not friends or family.
6. Ask to provide for sample portfolio
A sample portfolio of a Client can show you how much stocks, bonds and mutual funds the Advisers use as well as turnover ratio. Watch out for high mutual fund proportions and high turnovers (buy and sell of stocks), since this could indicate some conflict of interest.
7. Check background and credibility
Last but not least is to check the adviser’s and firms registration with the regulatory bodies.

It includes information about the history of the issuer of the securities and its operations, a description of the securities being offered, financial statements, a summary of the major risk factors that affect the issuer and how the money raised by issuing the securities will be used.
Your Financial Adviser can provide you with disclosure documents or you can download public company’s or investment fund’s disclosure documents.
You can also find information about the companies you invest in from a variety of other sources including media, newsletters, analyst’s reports and the company itself.

Be critical of what you read and never base your decision solely on websites, unsolicited emails or company news releases.

A type of security that signifies ownership in a corporation and represents a claim on part of the corporation’s assets and earnings. In other words, a shareholder is an owner of a company. Ownership is determined by the number of shares a person owns relative to the number of outstanding shares.
There are two main types of stock: common and preferred. Common stock usually entitles the owner to vote at shareholders’ meetings and to receive dividends. Preferred stock generally does not have voting rights, but has a higher claim on assets and earnings than the common shares.
Stocks are the foundation of nearly every portfolio. Historically, they have outperformed most other investments over the long run.
A debt investment in which an investor loans money to an entity (corporate or governmental) that borrows the funds for a defined period of time at a fixed interest rate. The indebted entity (issuer) issues a bond that states the interest rate (coupon) that will be paid and when the loaned funds (bond principal) are to be returned (maturity date). Interest on bonds is usually paid every six months (semi-annually).
Bonds are used by companies, governments etc to finance a variety of projects and activities. Bonds are commonly referred to as fixed-income securities and are one of the three main asset classes, along with stocks and cash equivalents.
Bonds can be used as a “core” investment to build the foundation of a balanced portfolio. They offer a wide range of maturities, varying interest payment terms and different credit quality ratings to fit most portfolio needs. Bonds and other fixed-income instruments may also provide a good counterbalance when combined with equities because bonds typically fluctuate less than stocks.
An investment vehicle that is made up of a pool of funds collected from many investors for the purpose of investing in securities such as stocks, bonds, money market instruments and other securities, which would be quite difficult (if not impossible) to create with a small amount of capital. Mutual funds are operated by money managers, who invest the fund’s capital and attempt to produce capital gains and income for the fund’s investors.
A mutual fund’s portfolio is structured and maintained to match the investment objectives stated in its prospectus. Each shareholder participates proportionally in the gain or loss of the fund. Mutual fund units, or shares, are issued and can typically be purchased or redeemed as needed at the fund’s current net asset value (NAV) per share, which sometimes expressed as NAVPS.
Capital Investment Group offers a wide array of mutual funds to meet a broad range of investment goals.

An investment that is not one of the three traditional asset types (stocks, bonds and cash).
Most alternative investment assets are held by institutional investors or accredited, high-net-worth individuals because of their complex nature, limited regulations and relative lack of liquidity.
Alternative investments are favored mainly because their returns have a low correlation with those of standard asset classes. Because of this, many large institutional funds such as pensions and private endowments have begun to allocate to alternative investments. Many alternative investments also have high minimum investments and fee structures compared to mutual funds.
An alternative investment strategy in which professional money managers uses futures contracts as part of their overall investment strategy.
These accounts can have various weights in stocks and derivative investments. A diversified managed futures account will generally have exposure to a number of markets such as commodities, energy, agriculture and currency.
