Investment Group
2025-12-16 18:00 - 19:30 | Learning Center
Bring your questions and concerns to the Litchfield Investing Group meeting on the third Tuesday of every month at 6:00PM.
Investing does not need to be complex or uncertain. Learn to manage your own investments whether you have $1,000 or $1,000,000 using publicly available computerized investing methods for a fraction of the cost of a professional money manager with returns consistently better than the S&P 500 or the Aggregate Bond Index. All while having a life beyond investing and sleeping soundly.
A professional money manager will charge 0.75% to 1.5% of your assets to manage a $500,000 account, but is not interested in managing lesser amounts. Robo-advisors charge 0.08% to 1.5% depending on account size and services to manage your account and can manage accounts as small as $100.
The methods discussed require only a computer, no specialized investing knowledge, average intelligence, access to the internet, and the self-discipline to follow proven methods.
