The foremost similarity between a teacher and a financial advisor is their proficiency in their respective fields. Be it Math or English, a teacher of a particular subject is thoroughly adept with the subject, syllabus, school curriculum and other standards required for that particular subject. A financial advisor too, is no less when it comes to imparting financial knowledge to investors and potential investors. He is a qualified professional who understands the stock market, the numerous Mutual Fund schemes and how effectively he/she has to help the investor achieve their financial goals
