seal asked:


I have an advisor who isn’t advising very well. I’m not getting much bang for the fees that I pay. The investments I’ve made on my own are outperforming the funds my advisor controls. I don’t really want to transfer to another advisor, who will do the same job of ignoring my needs. I’d like to transfer everything to myself, since I can’t sell anything in this down market. How do I go about this?
