What would you do with a large sum of cash? use one company to handle the investments or use several?

It rather depends on the definition of a large sum. If we are talking several million, definitely use several different firms. If it is under a million, maybe two firms. You will get better attention if you have a large amount of money with a particular firm, also better commissions; but there is certainly risk in placing all your funds with one firm. And risk is to be minimized.

If you were to place all of your funds with one firm, and the firm were to go under, you will not have access to your funds for a long period of time, even though they may be insured. There is also limits to the amount of insurance that these firms might carry.

one company but diversify your investment mutual funds bonds

I would pay off any credit card debt, put 3 months salary in a high paying CD (for emergency money) and invest the rest with one investment firm (I like Fidelity) but diversify it into several mutual funds. If you are uncomfortable with the stock market you can ladder your CDs to mature at different times. Credit Unions seem to have the best rates.

One company, but diversified. Take a look at www.quarantz.com They offer (free) advice and planning and have several investment options.
