Default Re: Hiring a money manager

if he is good enough to do well with your money he would do it with his own.

How do you know he isn't already doing that? If he's good at it, he has a marketable skill. Why shouldn't he earn money from providing that service?

put your money into index funds and as much into a retirement fund as you can. that will beat whatever he does minus his 2% commission every year of your net worth.

That's an awfully big assumption. The market average of 11% plus 2% fees is not that hard to beat.
