Hmmm. You're new around here, aren't you?
Name dropping and trolling are frowned upon at this establishment, but have fun.
How am I trolling? It was a legit question.
How am I trolling? It was a legit question and I am trying to learn. I liked them because the first $10,000 they manage for free but thought some people that have been around longer might know more than me.
And you changed your answer mid thread. Bad form.
So I deleted the name of the company. Still looking for an answer. Not a very warm welcome to my first post. Just looking for suggestions.
I think most people here believe you can do as well or better than anyone, including the lower cost robo advisors like Wealthfront and Betterment. Most people also spend the time to learn about investing so they understand and have confidence in what they are doing. Poke around here and at the Bogleheads website to get a better idea of the philosophy.
Max out an IRA each year if you are in a position to do that. Figure out an asset allocation that works for you. 60/40 stocks/bonds is a good place to start. Use index funds at a low cost broker. Rebalance once a year. Wait 15 or 20 years. You will likely be able to retire without a care in the world! Check out Lazy Portfolio info on Boggleheads.
What not to do: Don't try to beat the market in any way. You will quite likely do much better to just buy and rebalance.
Welcome to the forum!
I use Schwab and Vanguard. They each have management options, but that would be superfluous for many wise investors around here.I am planning on opening a Roth IRA next month and maxing it out each year. I want to find a company that will manage the money for me. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best company to open a Roth IRA with?

I'm guessing your situation is improving financially, and you need advice understanding things. There are a lot of experienced, knowledgeable investors here.
Thank you for the reply. I have dipped my feet in the stock market and options over the last 10 years. This was extra money that I wasn't considering for retirement. In the last year, my wife and I have started to get serious about retirement and I am hoping to retire in 15-20 years and have never looked at investing for the long haul. I have a state pension that will pay 80% of my salary but I am trying to save to make up that other 20%. Just want to make sure the money I set aside is going to grow over the long haul and that I don't mess anything up.
