If you’ve spent years successfully managing your own investments, do you really need a financial advisor? Scott works with a lot of highly skilled, intelligent professionals. So, for someone like this, is working with an advisor just an extra expense, or could it actually add real value?

In this episode, we break down when and why even experienced investors might benefit from professional guidance and when they’re probably fine on their own. While managing investments on your own is certainly possible, it demands considerable time and discipline, particularly as you near retirement. In many cases, an advisor can offer a fresh perspective and a structured strategy to not only grow your wealth but preserve it for the future.
