One of the primary things financial advisors do is eliminate a lot of emotional decision making for clients. When involved in a fairly risky investment strategy, people tend to react to changes in the stock market emotionally. If you have a financial advisor assisting you with your investment decisions, they will be able to help you keep an emotional distance from your money so that you can make the best long-term plan for your money.
Your financial advisor will help you allocate funds into a portfolio that best matches your personal risk comfort level.
