If this guy is a CFA, I’d rather light my money on fire than let him manage it. I feel like the outcome would be the same anyway.
I bet you're thinking of CPAs (not to be confused with CPAs or CPAs), who are the sort of folks that might manage money for the working class. CFAs are something different:
You shouldn't let any CFA directly manage your assets. Go to your local credit union and get free advice from their CPAs; they often have a standard path to wealth-building for their members, even those without much in the savings account.
@corbin
He may not be directly managing his clients' money, but he is probably advising them on how to invest. Badly.
A burning pile of money at least has some warmth, though.
