I am still researching what to do with my cash sitting in my 401k. Fees can eat you alive, correct? What fee structure is acceptable? The 1.5% is the management fee for a mutual fund and covers all trades for the year. I do not make the trades, the managers of the fund do.
I use Personal Capital. Best online tool for planning and especially retirement planning. Vanguard has the cheapest management fees (0.3%, last I checked) but Personal Capital is around 0.7%. They are a roboinvestor but they have people at the top managing the strategies to your risk profile. They are not a full service broker (no margin puts or calls, etc.) or a bank. But I don't gamble like that anyway.
