As the stock markets surge to record levels, millions of first-time retail investors have taken the plunge to enjoy a pie of the huge returns but only a few have taken steps towards professional financial advise or wealth management services.

Small retail investors need to understand that to fulfill these goals you need to consult a financial advisor as they can allocate the money to the right asset classes”, he said.
