What is self-directed investing?
Self directed or do-it-yourself (DIY) investing is a method of investing that puts you in full control of what you invest in and how you manage your investments. DIY investors are responsible for making their own investment plan, researching and placing trades, and monitoring and updating their portfolios without the help of an investment advisor.
While there may be benefits to self-directed investing (such as the potential to pay lower fees), investing on your own requires careful planning and research. DIY investors must assume full responsibility for their investment choices and the outcomes of those decisions – good or bad.
