Don't forget the trailer fees that no one mentions on top. The remuneration(bonuses)to fund companies and managers is far too high and so I am now not using these high cost funds. The financial Planners that one deals with are mostly salesmen and there are no financial skills that I have seen I am prepared to pay for.
