When should one hire an investment adviser, at ₹10 lakh or ₹1 cr?

While there is no fixed corpus at which an investor should hire an investment adviser, experts say ₹25 lakh to ₹50 lakh could be a meaningful amount to seek professional. The need for advice depends on an investor's goals, income, liabilities and investment experience. A person with a ₹10-lakh corpus can also seek advice to build the right financial foundation.
