Hi guys I have a large sum of cash sitting on the bank. I am planning to start investing but unsure how to built my portfolio. Do you know any private investment advisor fee based to recommend ?tnx?

Depending on how much cash you currently have and what your financial goals are (retirement? housing? passive income?) you can plan to divide your investments up into different assets by %. It might help to have an advisor do that with you; or you could invest via a Stashaway or other robo-advisor which will automatically allocate money to different investments based on your risk appetite (this will also be cheaper than engaging a specialist advisor 1-1).

Once you have some target % in mind, this will then tell you how much money you have to go out and buy shares, for example.

I wrote a short piece on how I think about my own portfolio allocation, here.

If you have a sufficiently large amount in the bank, you can qualify for private banking with a wealth manager to assist and advise you. The minimum qualifying amount differs with each bank.

If you are falling short of that amount by a significant bit, then it would be best to invest yourself, either DIY or utilising platforms such as roboadvisors.
