Is there such a thing??I am new to investing and have a large sum of money to invest so I don't know how to find the best advisor/broker...
Additional Details
What the question should of said: Is there a Broker/Investment advisor who is paid based on how well the portfolio does rather than just based on transactions. Please let me know if there is such a thing and where to find it. Thank you!

Typically a portfolio manager charges you a regular fee which is based on the value of your portfolio. They earn a fee that is a percentage of what your portfolio is worth. This does not mean if you do bad they don't make money, they just make less money!

If my understanding of how this works is correct what happens is that the broker makes all of your trades for you based on a 'set' program. They often day trade (which can be very risky) and they will also have a blend of 'fixed' investments - i.e. those that sit in your portfolio over time.

My biggest concern with this type of manager is that they typically work entirely a theory of what's good for one client is good for the next. You also typically have little (or no) control over your own investment portfolio.

If this is something you do opt to do please check them out carefully and do not hesitate to ask for client referrals.

Good luck!

Read Joe C reply and when he said become educated in investing - that would be a good path to take. Put that large sum of money into a money market temporarily while you educate yourself about investing money in the stock market.
This is not rocket science -I believe you can do this yourself if you are willing to read and do some small investments yourself and start learning how the system works.
By use of mutual funds you can actually run your own portfolio with the help of the mutual fund company you go with.
Go to those free financial seminars but don't get sucked in just keep learning and reading. Listen to Bob Brinker on the radio each Sat. and Sunday. etc etc.
If you can hold off until you feel more confident you will save more of your money.

I don't think there is one. I think there is an SEC rule against it. Rule 205-3. That rule applies only to lower net worth individuals ie individuals who do not qualify as hedge fund clients.

I think you will have a very hard finiding an advisor that si paid based upon performance nor do i eveen know if it is legal in the securities industry. I work for a top wall street frim and many of my clients have had the same questions. The best thing to do is become educated. Im a wealth advisor and i think asset allocation and risk toelrance and time horizon are key to know before picking investment advisors. After all it is in my best interest to make you money. It a) keeps you a happy client and b) the larger your account gets the more money i can make in a fee based arrangement. I would love to speak with you further and help you with investment selection/education. Please email me at kyle.freda@morganstanley.com and we can talk more. I look forward to hearing from you.

Cheers

I submit that you are (or can be) your own best advisor. Just spend some time reading and learning the basics of investing. Unless your finances are very complex, you don't need a paid advisor.

There are drip plans, where you invest in companies directly, without a broker of financial advisor. No one will care about your money as much as you do, so don't let anyone else control it!!! I had an account through AXA. It was terrible. They charged $1500 per quarter to administer, and it was self directed!!!! They took away the online trading capability. I hated it. So, I went to Schwab, and had the account transferred from AXA. They only charge for the commission when you trade. No additional fees. Much better. Also, the website is so much better-- great support for free and you can trade on line. The worst thing of all is to go to an insurance agent who has series 7 and 63 licensing. One tried to sell me a guaranteed annuity plan inside of a retirement vehicle, coupled with a big fat whole life insurance policy packaged inside of it. The only one who would have benefited from that was HIM! Don't trust them, they care about their fees and commissions! Who needs an annuity that guarantees 6% on your money, and costs you 3% fee per year? Isn't that crazy? That was the deal!!! LOL. Try Schwab. They have a lot of support services and it doesn't cost an arm and a leg to invest with them.
