Many millennials are perfectly happy making their own investment decisions, but that doesn’t mean they’re discounting professional financial help.

That’s according to Schwab Retirement Plan Services, which finds in a survey that 64 percent of millennials say they are very or extremely confident making investment decisions by themselves, compared with 47 percent of GenXers and 39 percent of boomers.
