If you’re intimidated by investing and don’t trust financial advisors, you’re not alone. Along with millions of others, you’ve learned the hard way that the only person who is looking out for your best interests—is you.

Yes, there are honest and capable advisors out there, but how do you find them? And how do you know if they’re adding enough value to justify their fees?

The only way to make better decisions about investing and about choosing an advisor is by learning more about the world of finance. This may seem intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be.

At the Light Brigade, we are experts in helping you make better decisions in the face of risk. We’re especially dedicated to promoting investment literacy because many high risk decisions have to do with money and investing.

We help investors like you to gain knowledge, confidence, and wisdom so you can:

  • Control your future financial prosperity by making more of your own investing decisions
  • Invest yourself and cut out the middleman, reducing the fees you have to pay and keeping more of your hard earned money, or
  • Optimize your relationship with your financial advisor

We also help human resources professionals to:

  • Reduce workplace stress and increase productivity with employees who know how to manage their investments and retirement nest eggs.
  • Reduce long-term corporate liability in defined benefit pension plans by raising investment literacy among employees.

As part of our commitment to leveling the playing field for the small investor, we also engage with policy makers (politicians) and regulators to:

  • Increase the transparency of financial markets
  • Make better laws that protect small investors
  • Create more responsive regulatory infrastructure

And finally, we strive to extend our reach by engaging with educators (teachers and parents) to help them:

  • Teach students about the role of financial markets and how to manage investments

Our information is unbiased because we don’t sell any financial products. Our loyalty is only to you—the small investor.

Please take a look at our educational material, links, and references. You may also wish to visit our central company site and read our blog or listen to relevant podcasts.

Our objective is to help you. We'd love to hear your thoughts, suggestions, and requests so we can make this site even more useful to you.
