Investing is a complicated and challenging endeavor, and if you are new to investing you may not know where to go to for reliable investing advice and investing tips. Fortunately there are several resources that you can utilize to help find the best investment opportunities for you. First you can find an investment professional that has the experience and background needed to understand the various investment options, the risks involved, and who also is willing to listen to how you want to invest your money. The second resource that you can use to get investment tips is an independent financial advisor. These people have the expertise to provide a logical prediction about what investments will be good and which ones are too risky to invest in. The added benefit of dealing with an independent financial advisor is that they don't make money off your investments so they will give you an honest opinion about all of the available options. Finally you can read through investment prospectuses of companies that you are interested in. This material will provide you with the information that you need to make an informed decision about a potential investment.

If you need financial planning advice then your best bet is to find a professional financial planner to work with. To pick the best financial planner for you it is important to interview several planners before you sign a service contract. During your interview ask the financial planner about how they pick investments, how they manage accounts, what type of experience they have, what education they have, if they have any special certifications or training, and what fees they charge. In addition to getting your questions answered, you should also use this time to get a feel for the planner and to determine if they are a person that you feel comfortable working with.

Investment tips for mutual funds can come from many sources including financial planners and the U.S. government. Generally it is recommended that you examine specific characteristics of a mutual fund before you invest in it. For example you will want to see if their fees and expenses are reasonable, how old the fund is, what types of investment activities the mutual fund utilizes, and you will want to determine how volatile or stable the fund is. You will also want to learn about the possible tax situations that investing in a mutual fund can create, such as capital gains taxes.
