[quote=Vic Mackey] [quote=Indyone]Under $100K - 1.5% or C-shares
$100K-250K - 1.25% $250K & up - 1% Yes, I've bent this schedule in the past, but now that I have a reasonable asset base, I don't see me discounting going forward, except in very rare circumstances/large accounts.[/quote]Wow! Most mutual funds cost 2.5 to 3.5% and you add 1% on top of that? I hope you weren't expecting to get into heaven, someday.[/quote] Hello again, "Bobby". You're a little high on your mutual fund expense ratios and frankly, you should be worrying about whether or not you go to heaven and leave my situation for me to worry about, OK?
I think we know what Vic the VA salesman would sell.And so your solution is? Indexing, I’d bet. ETFs. Passive money vs managed money. Can we not have this discussion again please?

$100K-250K - 1.25% $250K & up - 1%[/quote] Indy, at these price points, how many bps does your custodian take?[/quote] It depends upon the size of the account, but I usually factor in 8-10 when I figure my part. Larger accounts are charged less on a sliding scale.[quote=Indyone][quote=Vic Mackey] [quote=Indyone]Under $100K - 1.5% or C-shares

Expense ratio is only part of it. There are costs of turnover, ordinary taxes on ST tax distributions, taxes on enbedded gains, and, of course, the opportunity cost of the funds keeping an uninvested cash balance to meet liquidation demands from the other comingled investors.
You do understand all of this and explain it to your clients, don't you? Are those costs not important to you? With your background, I'm sure you understand the concept of materiality, don't you? Do you explain to them that you don't rebalance because you want to avoid ticket charges?
I look forward to your substantive response.
…well keep looking forward to that. I’ve got plenty to do without playing your games.

I knew you wouldn’t have the guts to address these issues. You can dish it out, but you can’t take it.

Not all of us have all day to try to teach you how things work. Most of us here have clients to service and make a living doing so. Maybe you should go to a want a be web site and make your comments.[quote=Greenbacks]Vic

You didn’t answer the question about what you use instead of funds. So, we’ll keep guessing.
Are you really counting taxes into the cost of a fund? What if it's in an IRA? Turnover I understand, but you'd have such a difficult time quantifying the cost any one fund has in turnover that it would be difficult to have anything other than a general conversation about it. What about funds that have eMbedded capital losses? Tax advantaged funds? Why wouldn't you just find a fund that keeps itself 100% invested at all times? Aren't there some risks to that too? Like turnover.[quote=Indyone]…well keep looking forward to that. I’ve got plenty to do without playing your games.[/quote]
You are a coward. Does the AICPA know that you’re misleading clients?

Again, you've PROVEN that you are ignorant and that you are lying to your clients.
I believe I've proven otherwise. Don't think you can bully me, big boy.[quote=Indyone]…well keep looking forward to that. I’ve got plenty to do without playing your games.[/quote]

Don't listen to what I say. Watch what I do.
