My IRA is in a managed fund that underperformed last year so I’m working with my advisor to move it to another managed fund, before I do this should I just consider dumping it all into a basic index instead of paying a small fee for a managed?

True statement

I’m guessing you have at least $10m in investments seeng you have an advisor

like

At minimum 10m

Look at the expense ratio of this managed fund. If 1% or higher, it’s awful.

Ideally take the boglehead three-fund approach & chill.

I don’t have 10 m- maybe wrong word- ‘my Schwab guy’. I’m going to move into a lost cost index v. managed account Right move?

Unless your situation is complex - multinational jurisdictions, trusts, offshore entities, estate planning, etc. - odds are very good that you're better off with index funds.

It depends on your goals and how involved your advisor is… but brass tax some funds outperform, some funds underperform… it’s just the basics of investing… and it’s not the same from year to year… but there’s something called advisor alpha, there’s extensive research on this, and on average having an advisor adds up to 2% alpha, by keeping assets held in the appropriate tax accounts, and talking you off ledges…

But people will say, I do this for a living so this is a PSA… but if you have complex goals and have at least $1M in investable assets, I’d have an advisor… I have an advisor and I work in the business because you’re susceptible to blind spots.

What's the expense ratio of both these managed funds? An index fund nowadays should have a near zero expense ratio.
