As of January 2008 - I'm a Licensed Investment Advisor Representative who works mostly with peoples' 401k and IRA money to have it grow as quickly and safely as possible. Prior to becoming licensed I worked with people utilizing my insurance license for 2 years. I'm now in my third year of working with people and I enjoy every person I get to work with. Securing a person's future is very fulfilling.
When your advisor to explained the thorough process they follow to choose the investments you currently have and how what they are doing will give you the best returns possible to have your money grow (and beat inflation) - how was that process for you? It may not be all that important because your money will grow somehow...
Also, when your advisor explained to you the difference between a stock broker and an investment advisor and what their fiduciary responsibilities are - was the explanation clear to you? Again, it might not be important as you can of course start over with what ever is left.
What do you want your retirement monies to do for you?
