I had never thought of hiring an investment management corporation before. You see, I always took a very hands-on approach to business. I learned it from my father - himself an entrepreneur. He didn't believe in investment capital management through a broker. By doing the paperwork himself, he cumulated a financial fortune. Of course, he worked about 80 hours a week and died at the age of 55 of a heart attack, so there are things about his way of living that I don't really want to do. Even so, managing investment myself was a hard habit to break.
Nevertheless, eventually I simply could not handle it anymore. I am not sure if my investment portfolio had grown too diverse, too large, or if I simply didn't have my father's talent for figures. For whatever reason, I was too busy to manage the family business and manage my investments. It was obviously what I had to give up. I hired a good capital asset management firm the very next week.
Many things have been complicated about the new mutual funds corporation. The most hard, of course, was to give up some control on my investments. I tried to keep as tight a leash as possible as soon as I hired the investments management firm. I wanted to know about every move, approve each decision, and in general. keep my hands in the pie at all times. Finally, my broker talked to me honestly. He said that there was no necessity to hire an investment manager if I was going to try to do all the work anyway. He then asked me quite straightforwardly if I still wanted him to take care of my mutual funds management or not. I backed down, understanding he was right.
However, the hardest thing about investment management has been recognizing the fact that this company has done a better job than I have with it. Even with the cash that they charge me, I am still making a huge amount more off of my investments than I ever have before. My mutual funds portfolio has grown at twice its normal rate the last twelve months, and shows no sign of slowing down. I had almost expected having to take control back at first. Part of me had even hoped that investment management would turn out to be a bad experiment. After all, it is hard to admit that someone else can do something better than you can.
