For the amount of money most of us to invest we do not qualify for top notch financial advisors. I have significantly more than you mention and have been disappointed by 4 different advisors. Best to become somewhat educated. Fidelity funds and Bogle Heads are a good choice for novice investors. I would also suggest getting Morning Star from your local library to see ratings and performance of multitude funds. You can compare Fidelity, etc with many other funds. The hardest decision is figuring out your risk tolerance. Less risk means smaller return. At some point things will turn south. Easy to purchase your selected funds with any brokerage account.
