investement advice for a starting a portfolio?

There are many types of services you could get that would manage your money for you but I doubt you'll find a reputable one that would predict returns. If you can't manage your own stuff then I would recommend something like TD Ameritrade (that's who I broker with) and their selective portfolios. Look at that here: https://www.tdameritrade.com/invest...management-services/selective-portfolios.page

Also, If you care to learn (takes an investment in time) you could setup your own stuff with long term type investments that only require a little time on weekends to check on them and maybe more time once a quarter to make sure fundamentals are not changing. Kudo's to you though for recognizing the need to do this. Good Luck
