Ashley咨询了如何选择值得信赖的理财顾问,以及如何为6个月大的女儿规划财务未来,确保她拥有财务自由。她已经开始为女儿设立529教育储蓄计划,但希望了解更多关于其他投资方式和账户类型的信息,例如如何选择合适的理财顾问,以及如何评估理财顾问的信誉和专业性。 Laura建议了四种为幼儿创造财富的方式:1. 529教育储蓄计划:灵活的缴费方式、多种投资选择、免税提款用于合格教育费用、以及较高的缴费限额,但如果用于非合格支出,则需缴纳所得税和10%的罚款;2. 监护账户(UGMA/UTMA):投资额无限制,但父母对资金的控制权有限,且该账户的资产会被计入孩子的财务援助计算中;3. 经纪账户:父母拥有更好的控制权,但需缴纳父母的税率,并需注意赠与税规定;4. 人寿保险:确保孩子在父母去世后的财务安全。Laura还详细解释了不同类型的理财顾问及其收费模式,包括佣金制、收费制、收费加佣金制以及机器人顾问,并建议在选择理财顾问时,需要了解其收费模式,避免潜在的利益冲突。她还提供了寻找优秀理财顾问的建议,包括寻求推荐、进行背景调查、面试等,并列举了十个应该向理财顾问提出的问题,以帮助选择最合适的顾问。
