At what amount of net worth should I start looking into getting my assets (mostly stocks) actively managed? Grew up with financially illiterate parents, hoping to do better

About $30-50M as a low end estimate would be my guess. Preferably $100M+. Because that's when your active manager can actually be helpful, by getting you access to private equity investments that are capable of beating the market.

If your active manager is actively managing your portfolio in only public instruments, they're a waste of money.

Most brokerages have a certain multiple that will have to be liquid. Even at 100m most of the portfolio will have to be in publicly traded. Don't know how you arrived at those numbers though...

As long as you self educate with personal finance books you probably won’t ever need anyone to manage your assets. Huge waste of money to pay fees for someone to barely or never beat the market.

There is no magic dollar amount. If you can do it yourself, no need to pay anyone no matter how much you have to manage your money. It may be worth it to pay someone to develop a plan or that you can ask questions. A flat fee or hourly rate advisor may make sense in that situation

I pay fidelity to manage my 401k and they have done a fantastic job. I manage my personal brokerage account and I have done decent. I think my 401k is doing better. I have read the books and follow blogs but with my full time job I don’t have time for day trading. I switched to fidelity management when my 401k hit $600k mark. I have also set my retirement age to be 55 in the planner so they know my goals and risk tolerance.

I am wondering if I can see what other brands say to influencers that they reject? In the program we use we either approve them or reject them. Once they are rejected they get an email saying that they are. I have tried googling a good nice way to reject an influencer but all I get is how an influencer should reject a brand. Not a brand rejecting an influencer. We don’t want to be rude & would like to keep the door open for future collabs if they meet our standards in the future.

I'm a noob with bonds, can someone break down ibonds for me in idiot proof language?

Per what I'm reading the interest rate is 9.62% if I buy through Oct 2022. It's a 30 year investment, but I can withdraw after 5 years without 3 month penalty.

Questions:
(1) Is the interest rate fixed or variable over the term of the bond?
(2) Assuming 9.62% is annual return but definitely want to confirm 🤣
(3) Do most people actually keep it in 30 years? I'm looking at 5 years for now and re-assess

Guessing I should still leave the down payment in a HYSA (getting 3% right now)? Sucks to miss out on market returns, but I understand that conventional wisdom is not to invest money you'll need in the short term (within 3ish years). I'm definitely tempted to put a portion of that in VTI though...
