Beware of double fees. “Because ETFs and mutual funds charge their own management fees, these clients are essentially paying two different advisors,” said Rogovy. “Funds charge fees on the backend, so investors might not realize they’re paying these fees.”

“Derivatives aren’t for beginner or casual investors. Because they are essentially bets, Wall Street does a very good job of making sure they are accurately priced,” notes Rogovy.
