The microsoft excel add-in program may work for you. With a simple spread sheet, add the codes for your mutual funds and anytime you hit “update” you will get the current quote, with the data calculated in your spread sheet. Link provided below.

Comment on Should we have a licensed broker handling our investments? by I Buy And Sell Houses

If you’re not paying anything, then he’s collecting commissions from the mutual funds or other investment vehicles he’s putting you into.

There’s a lot of debate about whether that sort of arrangement best serves your interests. Those who do it argue that it does. Others says that the financial planner is likely to steer you to those investments that make HIM the most money via commission.

Look: There are good and bad financial planners using both models. I’d prefer the fee for service, rather than the commission, but there are some excellent planners who work on a commission basis.

However, I’m concerned that you don’t have a clear understanding of the compensation structure. Your planner should be up-front with you on that.

You refer to a “licensed broker.” I’m not sure what you’re referring to–a financial planner is subject to whatever licensing requirements are required by the state regardless of the compensation structure. Also, anyone you deal with should be bonded and insured.

Look for performance and transparency. How has the performance of your investments been during the past few years? Recognize that the stock market is down about 50%, and real estate generally is down 20%-40%. So few investments (other than CDs) are showing positive results. Still, how does his performance compare with others? And second, can you get the information you want from him. Remember: Bernie Madoff seemed to be showing great returns when others weren’t…but his investors had no idea where he was putting the money. You should know where every penny of your investments goes. And, as I already said, you should know the compensation model your planner is using.

So, look for performance and look for transparency.

Hope that helps.
