Why should they? They risk showing you that they are a drag on your portfolio's performance. It is much better business sense to use sales techniques on their clients that improve their relationship based on personality rather than investment skill. We know of no large 'Wall Str.' firm that provides this kind of analysis to the average investor. Makes you wonder about just how much confidence they have in their advisors, doesn't it?
Over your "investing lifetime" one will typically pay your financial advisor over $250,000. That is money that is straight out of your account and into their pocket! We believe that any professional should make their fees up to the client in their recommendations of what to buy and when to buy it. Why use a financial advisor if they are not going to provide you with a risk return better than what you could have done yourself? If your financial advisor is shown to be skillful, then they are worth their fees and your referrals. If they are not skillful, then you have just probably saved yourself a lot of money by finding out now!
