I dunno, what if the fund with a 1.3% ratio consistently performed 2% better returns on average and had half the volatility?

Not to mention your other fund in question will have a wrap fee of 1% slapped on top of it.

Using empirical data, what is a fund manager's probability of consistently outperforming an index fund by 2% in an asset class?

I'm talking level, annual fees of 10 to 30 bps (.1%to .3%) in the next ten years, hence why advisor compensation will be deminimus. If I was in the business, I'd be looking for a new gig.

Who is this financial firm that manages this plan? I wonder if it's pro rating the TPA fee's into the "service" fee.

Most financial firms I know of waive the wrap fee after the 401k plan reaches $1mill

This is The Standard.

The wrap fee drops to 1.55 after $1M in assets.

Yeah, I am just now figuring this out.

I'm reading this right:

warp fee + recordkeeping fee+ fund fee= 2.25%

So, if on my earnings report, it shows a annual return of 3.25%, would that mean only a real return of 1%?

What you see on your statement should be net of expenses.

Yeah, your return should be net of expenses, so you're return before fees would 5.5%.

Assuming a gross return of 5.5% and aggregate fees of 2.25%, 2.25/5.5 = 43% of your return is going to plan fees...ouch, I would talk to management about going out for proposal on your plan.
