Which financial institution is currently the best for retirement accounts?

November 18th, 2008
ireallyhatetoregister asked:


I want to identify the best financial institution for opening a Roth IRA. It must have quality mutual funds with no load or transactions fees. I want to make monthly payments (~$200) and have that money immediately converted to shares of the mutual fund that I choose. So far, Fidelity and Charles Schwab will allow automatic monthly payments. Unfortunately, Chuck requires that the minimum for the mutual funds (usually $1000) is met before automatic purchases of a fund can be completed monthly. Fidelity will lower $2500 minimums to $300. Does anyone have experience with these financial institutions or another with a better policy?
Vanguard can setup an automatic investment of $50 but you have to meet the $3000 minimum first to even open an account. While T. Rowe Price will also setup a $50 automatic investment with no minimum meaning the $50 can be immediately invested. The problems is that you are limited to T. Rowe Price Funds only (no stocks, no ETFs, etc.). So far Fidelity seems the best overall option with no clear cut winner.

What are some good financial retirement plans for parents after passing on family business?

November 17th, 2008
Tuan T asked:


I am taking over the family business soon (Worth approx. $500,000)

My parents are worried on how they will still sustain financial freedom after passing on their company to me. It is primarily a cash business and I want for them to retire without having to worry about money. They have savings but nothing is in the bank. (Old Asian generation mentality)

I propose treating them like company board members that take a certain percentage from the business, while I keep the rest for expansion opportunities. What will be fair for both sides? Thank you.
