Thank you for the responses. Moving to my first question , if I use a Financial Advisor with a large , pretty well known institution, should I have confidence the investments are invested accordingly? Do any of you ever worry about this? How do you feel more secured?

Once again, I have no reason to think the investments have not been invested accordingly, it is just a natural worry of mine trusting someone with a large sum of money.

No, I can go into any of my accounts online and see everything. Should also be sending you account statements if you haven’t gone paperless.

Idk I feel like if it was a large company they would be doing this or have online account access.

Yes. 1st off a lot of firms don't self custody.

The ones that do are highly regulated and generally have pretty good scale. Madoff was unique in that.
