Giving 95% of my investable assets to a Financial Manager was the best thing I ever did. Well worth the 1.25%. I actively trade with the remaining 5%, and that scratches the itch. I can't make emotional errors with most of my funds anymore. There is more value in the expense than most people think about. I'm sure I'm in the minority, but I needed that moat to be smart with my money.
