How to invest a large inheritance?
A friend of the family has recently come into about 400k from an inheritance. He is young and uneducated. How do we go about finding advice about investing this money and finding someone that will work in his best interests? He has been screwed by investment advisors before.

With such a large sum, and his knowledge level, I recommend finding a REPUTABLE and trustworthy investment advisor.

(do be careful getting solications from people on this site).

Here;s a link to the Certified financial Planner Board of Standards. This may help in your friend finding a trusted and reputable investment advisor:

He should begin building his financial IQ. The best method to do so is by READING! I'd recommend many of the books in the Rich Dad series (www.richdad.com). There is also a forum on the site that he should probably check out. As far as specifics on what I would do if I was in that situation...I'd definitely have to say I would invest in real estate. IMO, that is by far the best method to building wealth; the key to long-term financial success.

Young, uneducated and $400,000 is a tough combination. There are a multitude of ways it could lead to trouble, let alone poor investment performance.

Is this the only funds he will inherit over the next decade?

Many major banks have wealth management areas that will work with these situations while giving good overall advice about things such as insurance, spendthrift planning, asset protection, etc. Wells Fargo, Wachovia and USBank come to mind.

The amount might be somewhat light initially, but if the funds will be increased or if they will be allowed to grow, some banks will take them in the wealth management area.

One advantage to using such a service, which will probably run about 1% or so per year depending upon the area of the country, is that your friend will have an opportunity to bounce ideas off independent advisers, everything from leasing/buying a car to buying or renting a place to live.

I recommend that he interview with a couple banks. If nothing else, he will learn from it.

The best investment he could make is for him to gain an education.

first thing he needs to do put it a CD or locked savings account where he can't touch it for a while. Then you start looking for advisors... if they know he can't do anything right now then they are not gonna try to get his money.


Personally I would invest it bonds or long stable stocks (GE, home-depot, walmart, lan).... something that will slowly but surely give him profit.

you need to find a good investment broker, they are out there, I used to be one for 14 years but I gave it up, very hard to find people to invest. someone that I used to work with, John Busic is very knowledgable and honest to work with, he is in Pittsburgh, 412-276-5600. it doesn't matter where you live, he can work with you anywhere. I wouldn't go to your local bank, most of the brokers there are right out of college and dont' know what they are doing.
