Stay hands-on and make your own calls, with a CFP® professional as a sounding board — perspective that helps you avoid emotional, in-the-moment mistakes.
Available to clients with a Fiduciary Investment Management account.
A free 15-minute call first — no cost, no obligation. We'll see if self-directed investing is the right fit.
Our self-directed investing solution can help avoid emotional decision-making and keep you on track.
Our self-directed investing option is perfect for those craving additional hands-on investing opportunities, allowing you to put your ideas into action with confidence.
Simply choose your investment—individual securities, mutual funds, or exchange-traded funds (ETFs)—and then call your CFP® professional to execute the transaction. While you’re ultimately responsible for making the final decision, perspective from a financial advisor can help avoid emotional decision-making and ensure you stay on track with respect to your objectives.
