Unfortunately we do not manage funds or assets for other people. We only invest our own funds and those of family and friends.

We are not financial advisors, asset managers or fund managers just individuals who invest money and write about it on our websites.

However we can discuss a few possibilities with you on the strict understanding that we are not recommending any of the companies below and have no financial connections with them.

For instance, we have mentioned John Emery of Sprott asset management in previous articles as someone that we have the utmost respect for, but that is only our opinion.

If however you are interested in options trading then you could try Fidelity, they also handle other types of trading, retirement funds, etc, although we have never done business with them.

If your need is for EFTs, bonds and mutual funds then there are people like Scottrade or Schwab. There are such financial instruments as Exchange Traded Notes managed by Ipath, but we don’t do any of these types of investments.

You can search the web or better still ask a few of your colleagues and see what they have to say, they might even have a personal experience or two to share which would be invaluable. Do try and look beyond the label and pick up the phone and talk to people, the response is usually very positive.

Good hunting.
